Welcome to Knockconan NS.
We are a co-educational, primary school between the villages of Emyvale, Co. Monaghan and Aughnacloy, Co. Tyrone. We currently have 111 children enrolled from a range of ethnic backgrounds We have 7 teachers, 2 SNAs, our secretary Patricia and our cleaner Josie on our staff. We are lucky to have 5 classroom teachers so our class size is very advantageous to our pupils. We very much appreciate the positive influence of sport, art and drama in our children's schooling and make every effort to nurture the children in these areas. Our children's achievement is celebrated at termly assemblies - look at the pictures on this website! We have a Catholic ethos, teaching and preparing our children for sacraments as appropriate. We, however, welcome children from all faiths and none. We have enjoyed many successes, particularly in GAA, chess, soccer and athletics and do our best to develop our children as keen sportspeople. We participate in the Peace Proms (a national concert in Belfast's O2 for primary school children) regularly - a wonderful opportunity for our Senior pupils. We participate in national programmes such as the Modern Langauges initiative, Green Schools and Active Schools and are always looking for opportunities for our pupils to broaden their educational experience. If you are interested in seeing what our school could offer your child, please feel free to call us at (047) 87244 or email i[email protected] Looking forward to hearing from you! Bernard Sheehan
