The Patrician Secondary School (Irish: Meánscoil Phádraig) in Newbridge, County Kildare was founded on 26 August 1958 by the Patrician Brothers in Charlotte House, Station Road. It is now situated on its own grounds, opposite St Conleth's Parish Church. It is an all-boys secondary school noted for its high standards of education; turning out a high number of successful students in the creative arts, sciences, and sports.

The school has recently built a new state of the art wing in the last ten years incorporating new science labs, a music room, library, arts studio and woodwork studio also. Competition to be accepted into the school is also notably high.

Another extension was built recently to add more classrooms to the school to cope with the high amount of applications for places in the school.

In 2011 work commenced on a new lunchroom with 3 new classrooms also being built in the same building. Work finished in the latter half of 2011 and the lunchroom has been a huge success among students. A local catering company have been employed by the school to serve hot food at lunch time which has further enhanced student life in the secondary school significantly.
