in 1820, a small number of cottages on seapoint road in bray are believed to have been the site of the first bray male parochial school. it opened on 20 july 1820 and the boys stayed in these premises until 1880. due to increasing pupil numbers, bray male school moved from its original home on seapoint road to the little flower hall beside the holy redeemer church off the main street in bray in october 1880. bray male school moved again in 1931; this time, the school found a new home in a new building on the vevay hill. the school also changed its name at this stage to st cronan's. on 2 november 1999, st. cronan's moved to a new building in vevay crescent. after the most recent move to the new school building in vevay crescent, gaelscoil uí chéadaigh, a gaelscoil, took up residence in the schoolhouse on the vevay hill.
