Dernakesh National School

About Us

Dernakesh is a rural National School situated approximately 6km from Cootehill. We have 151 children on roll, some of whom live in Cootehill. We are very active in our local community. The vast majority of our children are involved in Drumgoon Éire Óg G.A.A. club but they also take part in the very many activities taking place in and around Cootehill.
Dernakesh pupils take delight in representing their school and community in competitions arranged by both Cootehill Credit Union and the Community Games Association. Activities such as athletics, table quizzes and art competitions are eagerly anticipated each year and always well attended.

We strongly encourage all our pupils to value and support local activities in the hope that they will recognise how they too can help enhance their community. We look forward to a future of even greater involvement in our thriving town!
