This Church of Ireland school is situated in Waterside beside the courthouse and the Town Hall, The earliest existing school records date back to 1901 to the Model School which was situated on Upper Newcastle Road. It had opened in 1852 with 400 pupils, many of whom were Catholics. This proved too much for the then Catholic bishop who set out to make way for explicitly Catholic education in Galway. He invited the Mercy Sisters and the Patrician Brothers to set up schools here and made it a ‘reserved sin’ for Catholic parents to send their children to the Model School. This resulted in 199 pupls withdrawing and meant the end of multi-denominational education in the city.

The first bishop of the Diocese was George Browne (1831-1844). He was followed by Lawrence O’Donnell (1844-1855); John McEvilly (1955-1883); Francis Carr (1883-1888); Francis McCormack (1888-1908); Thomas O’Dea (1908-1923); Thomas Doherty (1923-1936); and Michael Browne (1937-1976).
