Wilson's Hospital School
Wilson's Hospital School is a special place in Multyfarnham, County Westmeath, Ireland. It's a boarding school where boys and girls can learn together in a beautiful old building. Established in 1761, it's one of the most senior schools in Westmeath. Although it used to be a private school, it became part of the voluntary aided sector in 2011. It doesn't charge for regular classes but still has fees for staying at the school and participating in extra activities.
This school cares about knowledge, being inclusive, and having a mix of different people. It follows the Church of Ireland's beliefs, emphasizing Christian values, treating everyone with respect, and creating a caring and friendly environment for learning. The school is open for both day students and those who stay overnight, and it wants to meet the needs of all its students.
Wilson's Hospital School believes in including everyone and having a diverse community. The school's primary goal is to help students become more aware of themselves, confident, and generous. It creates a place where kindness and understanding are essential, where everyone is welcome, and where being honest and trustworthy to oneself is highly valued.
Around 400 students go to Wilson's Hospital School, and while many stay overnight, some come just for the day. The school usually had boarding available all week, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it changed to five days. Before, there used to be a seven-day option, giving boarders the choice to go home on weekends or enjoy the activities at the school.
In a nutshell, Wilson's Hospital School is where students can fall in love with learning, explore what they're interested in, and pick up essential life skills. The school is all about welcoming everyone, regardless of where they come from or their beliefs. It's a supportive and friendly place for students to grow and learn.
