About

Knock National School is a vibrant primary school that embraces a holistic approach to education, fostering curiosity, creativity and a love of learning in its pupils. The school places a strong emphasis on mathematics, regularly taking part in national initiatives such as Maths Week Ireland, where students engage in puzzles, riddles and hands‑on activities that link maths to everyday life. This focus is complemented by a broad curriculum that encourages critical thinking and problem‑solving across all subjects. The school’s environment is enriched by a commitment to wellbeing and sustainability. Initiatives such as the Active School programme promote physical activity and healthy habits, while the Green School project integrates environmental awareness into daily lessons, encouraging pupils to become responsible stewards of the planet. Modern facilities support these programmes, providing spaces for interactive learning, outdoor play and community events. Community involvement is a cornerstone of Knock National School. Parents and families are invited to participate in enrolment evenings, school‑wide projects and fundraising activities, creating a supportive network that enhances the educational experience for every child.
