Sutton Park School is a non-denominational, independent co-educational day school located just off Saint Fintan's Road in Sutton at the city side of Howth Head on the Northside of Dublin, Ireland.
History
Sutton Park School was founded in 1957 as one of the first multi-denominational schools in Ireland.
One of the founders was Rosaleen Mills who was an Irish activist and educator. She served here as vice-principal for some years.[1]
The original school building is a late Georgian House known as St Fintan's House whose previous owners had sold it on. Captain John King is recorded as living at the house from 1849-53.[2]
Since 2016, it no longer offers Boarding facilities. Sutton Park is an international day school, with students from ages 4 to 19 attending from 22 countries. It is accredited by the Council of International Schools.[3]
