Bike Day 2026

We’d a fantastic Bike Day at Knockskeagh NS during Bike Week! Pupils had a brilliant time building their cycling confidence through fun and active sessions focused on balance, braking, turning skills, and exciting bike games. It was wonderful to see everyone developing new skills, supporting each other, and enjoying the day outdoors. A huge well done to all our young cyclists from Juniors to 3rd class for their enthusiasm and effort! 

We were delighted to receive funding for Bike Day from Cork Sports Partnership on behalf of Cork County and City Councils. Thank you so much to Ulick from Bike Wizards for his knowledge, and to all the parents who supported us by bringing in pupils’ bicycles. #bikeweekcork @corksportspartnership

Active Week 2026 

We had a blast in Knockskeagh NS last week celebrating Active Week 2026!!
Our Active Leaders can be proud for their efforts in organising our Morning Shake Ups, FMS stations in our junior class yards and our golf masters staff challenge. Well done to our champs!! 
We’d a Table Tennis Takeover in our schoolyard all week for 2nd to 6th classes. 
Other highlights included GAA with Conan and tennis with Alan in our astro turf. 
Also, our 3rd and 4th class continued their “Unleash Your Drive” programme with Robert Cussen of Golf Ireland. These sessions are proving a real hit this year!!
Daily active breaks, active homework and feel good music at lunchtime were other activities enjoyed by our pupils last week. 
It certainly was a lively and engaging week, with the children embracing every activity with energy, and of course plenty of smiles. @active_school_flag #ASW26

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.
