St Anne’s Secondary School in Tipperary Town is to become co-educational from September 2027.
The following statement was issued by the school - “Following an extensive and highly positive consultation with students, parents, staff, and the wider school community, St Anne’s is delighted to announce plans to change from an all-girls school to a co-educational school.
The consultation showed strong support for this exciting development, and the Board of Management carefully considered this feedback in reaching its decision. The engagement throughout the process reflects the community’s deep commitment to the school’s future.
St Anne’s is proud of its tradition as a small, caring school community, providing a faith-based Catholic education where every student is known and supported. Moving to co-education presents a wonderful opportunity to build on these strengths while continuing to nurture the welcoming, inclusive spirit that defines the school.
The Trustees have submitted a change of status request to the Department of Education and Youth. Pending approval, St Anne’s plans to begin admitting both girls and boys from September 2027,” said the statement.
“The school looks forward to welcoming all students to its community and to continuing to provide a supportive, values-based, and high-quality education. Further updates will be shared with the school community as the process progresses,” said Principal Jeanne Dowling
