KWood Junior B Champions!
There was great excitement when the victorious Kilmainhamwood football team visited our school with the championship cup. Many children attended the game the previous day, and were delighted to meet their local sporting heroes! Of course, with so many of the players being former pupils of ours, it was very special to welcome them back to the school and join in with their celebrations.
Girls’ Cumann na mBunscol Final
The girls' team played in a historic first Cumann na mBunscol Final for our school on Thursday the 22nd of November. Having already met our opponents Nobber NS in the group stages, we knew that we would have a tough match ahead of us. However, the girls played with great skill in the first half, with a score of 1-3. The second half proved challenging but our KWood girls never gave up, chasing every ball to the last seconds of the match. We are very proud of our...

Our Facilities
Located in the heart of Kilmainhamwood Village, Kilmainhamwood National School is situated in a picturesque setting surrounded by trees with the River Dee running just beyond the school grounds. The school has a large playing area for children to avail of. Two big, tarmacked areas along with a large grass area, provide the children with an abundance of space in which to play and learn. Adjacent to the tennis and basketball courts, is a handball wall. Children from 2nd to 6th class participate in handball lessons each week throughout the year and can play at break times. The large green area provides space for football, rounders, and athletics in dry weather. A newly built school garden runs parallel to the grass area. This is an area which children love to explore with a mud kitchen, insect hotels, and a balance beam. The landscaped garden provides an ideal location for an outdoor classroom with picnic benches and whiteboards for the teachers and children to use.
The school itself has five large sized classrooms, each colourful and vibrant with an emphasis on providing children with welcoming and effective learning environments. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard which enables teachers to deliver dynamic and interactive lessons to their class. A sensory room provides children with a peaceful and comfortable space in which they can reset and self-regulate with tranquil lights and music. We are fortunate to have a large sized hall which can be used for PE on wet days. However, it is also utilised for many other functions such as whole school assembly, music lessons and external coaches.
