About Us
Canovee National School
Canovee National School first opened its doors to the children of Canovee over 150 years ago. Much growth and development has taken place since the early years and we are justly proud of our current school building, which can cater for the needs of our 99 families.
To ensure the all-round development of each pupil, great care is taken to provide pupils with the best learning environment possible. The school’s facilities are kept up-to-date and teaching methods are in accordance with current best practice.
Canovee National School is fortunate in having a dedicated and highly experienced staff, a supportive and committed Board of Management and an enthusiastic Parents’ Association.
