Scoil Barra is a co-educational primary school situated in Ballincollig, a thriving suburb just west of Cork city in the Republic of Ireland. It first opened its doors to pupils in 1985. Since then the school has grown and expanded considerably. The school now has over 490 pupils with a teaching staff of 27 teachers, including 6 special education teachers. The school also has excellent facilities including a sports hall, a large computer room and spacious playing areas. Despite the new expansion taking place in Ballincollig, Scoil Barra still maintains the benefit of an almost rural setting, being adjacent to the regional park and boasting its own large playing field.

They have a strong sporting tradition running sports such as basketball, football, hurling, swimming and athletics, to name a few. Other activities include musicals, concerts, City Sports, the Nature Trek and the much-loved School Sports Day.
