FAI Soccer 2026

Our school soccer teams competed in the FAI Primary 5 a-side County Qualifiers recently. 

We had two boys teams and two girls teams representing our school in each tournament which was fantastic to see.

Our boys tournament took place in Drinagh and they played games against Dunmanway Boys, Laragh NS, Newcestown NS, St Marys Central School and Castletownbere. 

Our girls tournament took place in Lakewood and the girls played games against Coachford, Farran NS and Ballyheeda NS. 

Both our girls and boys’ teams played really well in the tournaments and all teams’ efforts were rewarded with positive results in the group stages.
One of the Knockskeagh NS girls team made it all the way to the final just losing out by the slightest of margins to qualify for the County Finals in the end.
Well done to all teams who performed very well and displayed a great attitude throughout the tournaments.
Cnoc Sceach Abú!!

Halloween 2025

As ever there was great excitement for our annual Halloween parade which took place on our school yard this year. 

Huge credit must go to all who helped design and create such magnificent costumes. There was so much creativity on display throughout the classes. 😁

We encouraged the use of recycled costumes this year as part of our Green Schools initiative and the standard was extremely high. 

Our panel of secret judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners from each class. 

Please see our video reel below for a flavour of the amazing costumes on display around our school today.

Mid-term Break

We hope all pupils, parents, and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.

Camogie and Hurling Finals

We’d a great week of sporting action over the last week on local GAA fields. Both our camogie and hurling teams represented our school so well displaying great endeavour, attitude, teamwork and skills throughout each competition.

Huge congratulations must go to our camogie team this week. After two amazing group stage wins, they played magnificently well in the final against St Josephs GNS Skibbereen and were deserving cup champions on the day.

Our hurling team did incredibly well to get to their cup final after a win against Bandon Primary School but unfortunately narrowly lost to deserving cup winners Scoil Mhuire agus Bharra, Bantry in the final.

On both days, it was really encouraging to see our young hurlers and camogie players playing their hearts out for our school. Well done to all involved.

Skip Around the World

Knockskeagh NS is proud of being recognised as an Active School.
This week every class in our school has engaged with the Skip Around the World initiative which will continue for the next 2 weeks.
Here, each class incorporates a skipping movement break into their day, each skip = 1km. Each class will aim to reach many of the world’s most famous locations by combining their skips.
Stay tuned for progress in the coming weeks!!

Movement between lessons can have a hugely positive impact on learning,

helping children to:
  • Adjust energy levels
  • Restore concentration
  • Self regulate emotions

Camogie and Hurling Blitz

Our 4th, 5th and 6th class girls and boys teams took part in the recent Sciath na Scoil camogie/hurling blitz held in St Colums GAA club, Kealkill last Thursday morning.

Well done to all involved in the organisation of this competition.

Last Thursday was a grading blitz to see what school teams would be suited to play against our school in another blitz in the coming weeks.

Both our teams played 3 games each against Bandon Primary School, Coomhola NS and Scoil Mhuire & Barra. 

Our boys and girls teams showed great skill, endeavor, and attitude in all their games.

Our pupils attitude was even more special due to the fact that some of our pupils were experiencing their first game of hurling/ camogie on the day.

Well done everybody for giving your all smile

Rugby Blitz

Rugby Blitz

Our 1st – 6th class pupils took to the field in Clonakilty RFC grounds yesterday for the annual rugby blitz.

Thankfully the sun shone all day long which made for a fabulous day of rugby.

All at Clonakilty RFC deserve huge praise for their incredible organisation of this event.

There was fun, games and even some super dance moves on display from all our pupils. 😊

Thank you to our visiting rugby coach Finny too, who visits us every Thursday during this half term. 😊
