The Department of Education changed the process for building new schools - the New Schools Advisory Committee does not exist. The Minister has taken it on board to decide where schools are needed!!
So, there is no official action that the committee can take to request our school. Of course, with the forthcoming local elections, you can tell the candidates that a school is needed and desired. Your feelings will get back to their Dail counterparts!
Who are we?
We are a group of parents who have come together with one thing in common – we all felt that there was a lack of real choice for how we educate our children at primary level. We approached Educate Together to patron a new local primary school because we felt their ethos would provide our children with the tools they need to thrive in a wonderfully challenging and diverse world.
