Fáilte and Welcome to St. Peter's National School Phibsboro.
We are looking forward to welcoming our new Junior Infants to our school. Starting primary school is a very exciting and special time for you and your child and over the coming school year we will work with you to make it the most wonderful experience. If you have any questions in the weeks ahead please contact our school office and our School Secretary Collette be happy to assist you.

PE Uniform/tracksuit:
See detailed information below about the change to a generic navy tracksuit from the start of the 2026/2027 school year.
From September 2026, we will be moving/transitioning to a generic navy tracksuit with iron on school crest-see details below-
From the start of the new school year (2026/2027) St. Peter’s N.S. is moving to a generic navy school tracksuit (following Parents' Association consultation) to help reduce costs for parents/families. Our formal school uniform will remain the same. We will also be adding an iron-on crest to both the formal school uniform and the navy generic tracksuit from the start of the new school year. The iron on crest will be available to purchase from the office (they will be sold in pairs (2 crests for €5)) shortly. We will notify parents in advance.
The formal school uniform (maroon jumper/cardigan, white or grey shirt/blouse, grey trousers/skirt/pinafore (grey or navy trouser shorts in Term 3 (summer uniform)) and (optional) maroon tie) will be available to purchase in multiple stores. We suggest elasticated waists if purchasing trousers for infant pupils.
Our new generic tracksuit consists of navy jumper and navy bottoms with a white/red polo short and the iron-on crest. We would recommend that parents/guardians purchase the generic navy tracksuit in Dunnes Stores or Marks and Spencer on grounds of quality and durability.
It is expected that any pupils from senior infants-6th classes can continue to wear the crested tracksuit that we have currently (it will not be possible to purchase it from the end of this school year (2025/2026)) until they have grown out of it (if parents/pupils wish) as we gradually phase out the old crested tracksuit.
I have included images of the formal uniform (for boys and girls), the individual pieces of the formal school uniform as well as individual pieces of the new navy generic tracksuit.
If any parents/guardians have any questions/queries about our new generic navy tracksuit, please call (01) 8680501 or email the office (office@stpetersns.net).
Images of the new generic tracksuit, parts of the formal uniform and the updated iron-on crest can be found in the news section of the home page (on Tuesday, 2nd of June).
