Co Kildare primary school at 'full capacity' soon due to get 4 new classrooms

A Co Kildare primary school will be getting four new classrooms.

Kildare North TD James Lawless has confirmed that four new classrooms have been approved for Newtown National School. The classrooms will be funded under the Department of Education’s Additional Accommodation Scheme.

Deputy Lawless said: “A number of weeks ago I had pleasure of visiting the school with local Cllr. Paul Ward. Meeting with teaching staff it was very clear that the school had reached full capacity and urgently required additional classrooms."

He said:“Having raised this with the Minister for Education in the Dáil I am delighted to confirm that four new classrooms will be provided for the school. I look forward to continuing to work with the school to aide their development and advocate for the teachers and students in Newtown."
