The CoViD19 pandemic has forced the school - and all schools - to close until further notice.

We are using Google Classroom to keep the learning going!

We have also created this special website full of different activities for you to try!

Our School

 
SN Cill Cae, usually referred to as Kilkea National School, is located in the historic village of Kilkea, between Athy & Castledermot. Nearby Kilkea Castle was the seat of the Fitzgerald clan - Earls of Kildare and Dukes of Leinster -  for over 700 years.

​School History

Kilkea N.S. was originally founded in 1834 in the old schoolhouse
(now Mrs. Doyle’s house). In 1950, the children moved up the road 
to a new two-classroom school. That building underwent 
reconstruction in June 2008. The completion of works on our new school, including an extension, took place in June 2009.
