We here at Knockainey National School pride ourselves upon our wonderful place of learning. It is bright, colourful, warm and welcoming. In a team spirit akin to that of a family, we in Management, in harmony with our excellent teaching staff all working hand in hand with extraordinary parents and an extremely effective Parents Association together work tirelessly to ensure that the children who sit in our classrooms, walk our corridors, play in our yard and field are educated to the highest standards and cared for and loved to the very best of our ability. The teaching facilities are modern and the pedagogy skills are current and innovative. In a holistic approach to learning we endeavour to make EXCELLENCE our standard in providing education, instilling confidence, encouraging meaningful growth both spiritually and socially all of which happens within a space that is safe and surroundings that are both comfortable and comforting.
It is precisely the great school that it is because the standards in all areas are set high and we teach by example. We, the entire school team, desire the words of H. Jackson Brown to ring true for our students: “Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you!”
