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.{{Cite web|url=https://www.education.ie/en/Publications/Inspection-Reports-Publications/Whole-School-Evaluation-Reports-List/report2_60340N.htm|title=Whole School Evaluation Report|website=Education.ie|date=29 February 2008|accessdate=24 May 2021}}
