On behalf of the entire school community of Canovee National School, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you to our website. We are co-educational primary school nestled in the picturesque countryside close to the village of Carrigadrohid, near Macroom.

We endeavour to provide our pupils with a well-ordered, caring, happy and secure environment where they can flourish and develop their own individual talents. We are very fortunate to have a very enthusiastic school community including pupils, staff, parents and guardians, all who contribute to every day school life in Canovee National School.
