| Blessington Community College is a co-educational, multi-denominational post-primary school serving the needs of the community of Blessington in Co. Wicklow.
The college offers the full range of post-primary courses. We pride ourselves on the level of support and encouragement given to pupils of all abilities and we strive to help students identify and achieve their potential in terms of academics, sport, the arts and the other areas in which students may be talented.
An important aspect of this is ongoing monitoring of pupils performance and achievement and working with parents to ensure all students are given every possible opportunity to achieve all they are capable of.
