Welcome

As Principal of Clogheen Kerry Pike National School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you to our school website. I hope that through its pages, you will get a feel of the wonderful teaching and learning that takes place in our school.  We believe that the spirit of Clogheen Kerry Pike National School lies in our commitment to guide our pupils to realise their academic, moral, holistic and social potential. We emphasise the need for pupils to develop a broad range of skills, competencies and values that enable personal well-being, active citizenship and lifelong learning.

We have a very vibrant school, and our wonderful team of dedicated staff work together to create an inclusive and successful learning environment where everyone feels happy, safe, respected and valued. In partnership with our pupils, parents, the Board of Management, and the Parents’ Association, we strive to provide each child in our school with a rich educational experience and to help every child to reach their full potential.

Le gach dea ghuí,

Annette Golden

The entire Clogheen KerryPike school community is heartbroken at the news of the passing of our much-loved past pupil, Cian. We extend our deepest and most sincere sympathies to Cian’s parents, Sabrina and Paul, his sister Lauren, and to all of his family, friends and loved ones. Cian will always be remembered with great fondness for the light he brought to our school and for the many happy memories shared during his time with us. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. Go raibh leaba i measc na naomh aige, go lonraí solas na bhFlaitheas air, agus go dtuga Dia suaimhneas síoraí dá anam uasal.
🎅✨ A Magical Day at CKPNS✨🎄 Yesterday, we were filled with festive cheer as we welcomed Santa Claus to our school! He arrived in a BIG red truck with a Garda escort! The sun was shining so we gathered outside to await his arrival 😊 After we sang some Christmas songs, Santa visited each classroom, bringing gifts for every class and a selection box for each child. Thank you, Santa, for making our Christmas celebration so memorable. We wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas 🎄 🤶🎅
