School History

We are a vibrant primary school for boys and girls situated in the heart of the historic north side of the city, near the beautiful Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Anne. We have a very diverse school community and are proud of the many different cultures and nationalities our children represent.

North Pres. has a long and proud history of education on the north side of Cork city. Our aim is to combine the best traditions of the Presentation ethos with modern teaching aids and ideas so that our pupils can look forward to the future with confidence.

We as a staff at North Pres. strive to ensure the best educational outcomes for all of our pupils. We firmly believe in the importance of developing our pupils in a holistic way; socially, emotionally, physically as well as academically. We do so in a way that is fun and meaningful for the children.

Working in partnership with parents, guardians and the wider school community is of the utmost importance to us. You as parents and guardians are the primary educators of your children, therefore we strive to have strong links between school and home.

We are very proud of our school here in North Pres. We aim to provide a safe, fun learning environment for our pupils, where they will flourish and grow.
