The school is under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Galway, Kilfenora & Kilmacduagh. The school promotes a Christian philosophy of life. The school's mission statement advocates the full & harmonious development of all pupils in a holistic way while endeavouring to foster the Catholic faith in the school community. The Catholic School provides Religious education for the pupils in accordance with the doctrines, practices and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church and promotes the formation of the pupils in the Catholic Faith.

Doolin N.S. is located approx. a mile outside the beautiful village of Doolin, home of traditional music. The school fosters & encourages traditional music at every opportunity.

Doolin N.S. takes part in many local events including Cumann na mBunscoil, notably last year the school won the All Ireland Credit Union Quiz which took place in the RDS. The school had to beat off stiff competition in all rounds to finally achieve victory in Dublin! This was a huge achievement for the school.

Last year the school underwent a Whole School Evaluation and received a very favourable report, which can be viewed on the Department of Education Website.
