The present school at Bohreen Hill was built in 1969. Outreach classes were set up in St. John of God House, Enniscorthy in 1995 and in Ard Aoibhinn, Clonard, Wexford in 1997. These eventually closed and the school operated on two sites in Enniscorthy, Bohreen Hill and Pearse Road. In May 2021 St. Patrick’s moved to its new premises in Drumgoold, Enniscorthy. After eighteen years St. Patrick’s was once again on the same campus.
