Some information from the school website: Scoil Bhríde is a Presentation Convent Primary School, facilitating the development and growth of over 215 pupils. Situated overlooking the mouth of the Owenabue River, Crosshaven Bay and Cork Harbour beyond, our location constantly inspires the everyday running of our school.
We strive for academic excellence, with extra curricular activities encouraged as an essential balance to our curriculum. Our teaching staff take great pride in their ability to care for the individual needs of each child and encourage the same of each child for one-another. The result? Independent and happy children that have fond memories of their school days by the sea.
We believe in the celebration of growth and balance. We have nurtured an ethos in our school that promotes exuberance, good communication and integrity. We nurture a safe and caring environment for all, with positivity and individual development at our core.

Some information from the school website:
Coláiste Muire, Realt na Mara (Our Lady Star of The Sea) was opened in 1947. It provided a second level education for girls of the area and they were taught by seven Presentation sisters and one lay person. The school adopted the motto ‘Respice Stellam, Voca Mariam’ which translated means ‘Look to the star, call upon Mary’ reflecting the influence of its location in the small fishing port of Crosshaven. When the school opened there were approximately one hundred students attending. Enrolment in 2024 is in excess of 470 students.
In 1952 due to the demand for extra classrooms, a top floor was built onto the Coláiste Muire block which had been used since 1891 as a primary school. Some of these classrooms include Naomh Ide and Naomh Colmcille. Coláiste Muire was an all-girls school until 1969 when eighteen boys attended. Prior to this boys of the locality had to travel to Cork City to receive a second level education. The school had now become co-educational and this resulted in an increase of pupils. In 1970 this increase led to an extension of the school which facilitated many specialist rooms and introduced a range of new subjects such as woodwork, Technical Drawing and Home Economics.
