“The extension consists of an additional mainstream classroom with ensuite toilets, two Special Education rooms, a store room, a disability toilet and an upgraded parking area.

“These additional facilities will make a huge difference at the school,” says Cllr. Moran.

“It will improve day to day life in this popular school for both staff and pupils alike. I have been working on this project since it was first proposed and I am delighted to see it reach this final stage,” he said.
