History

Mother Frances Deasey bought Beaufort House in 1925. It became Beaufort Domestic Science College, with the ancillary buildings forming a kindergarten and junior school. A senior school building was added in 1952, and an extension including an assembly hall in 1975. The kindergarten and junior school were phased out in the 1990s.[3]

South Dublin County Council greenlit a two-storey extension in 2017.[4]
