"I would like to extend my congratulations to the 12 schools, on the wonderful achievement of receiving the Discover Primary Science and Maths (DPSM) award.

It is a wonderful testament to the dedication, passion and commitment of the children and teachers of Louth primary schools in the subjects of science and maths, that there has been a notable increase in the number of schools receiving the honour.


Since the awards began in 2005, each consecutive year has seen an increase in the number of Louth primary schools working hard to meet the criteria to win the award.

From one Louth primary school (St Peter's N.S.) winning the award in 2005, eight primary schools winning the award in 2013, to a phenomenal twelve primary schools winning the award this year, it is clear that Louth primary schools have embraced science and maths in their schools in an innovative way.


It is a fantastic accomplishment for Louth to record the highest number of awards in its' history. The future is bright in the hands of young science and maths enthusiasts thanks to the encouragement and dedication of the teachers of Louth."
