Clogheen Kerry Pike NS is a co-educational Catholic primary school under the patronage of the Bishop of Cork and Ross. Together with the Board of Management, the parents and the parish community, we promote the formation of the pupils in the Catholic Faith in a manner that is welcoming to and inclusive of the presence of pupils committed to other religious traditions. Our Christian ethos also permeates the school day through our actions, attitudes and practices, in prayer and by celebrating the sacraments.
Clogheen Kerry Pike NS is located in the heart of Kerry Pike village near Cork city. In addition to our mainstream classes, we also have two special classes within the school. We strive to create a learning environment throughout our school where every child is encouraged and enabled to develop to their full and unique potential as human beings. We have extensive grounds here and are lucky to be able to provide plenty of yard space on basketball courts and on grass. Children are encouraged to play on both areas ensuring that they have great opportunities to run around at yard time. As part of our Well-being policy, the whole school engages in Walk On Wednesdays and we avail of our fantastic Community facility, Ballycannon Park. This whole school initiative is very popular with everyone.
