St Conleth's CC in Newbridge & Milltown N.S are both to be extended
The Department of Education has confirmed plans for extensions to a secondary school and primary school in the wider Newbridge area.
St Conleth's Community College is to get a large extension of 8 mainstream classrooms, 6 special resource rooms along with a home economics room, science room, graphics room and ancillary accommodation.
This will allow the school to increase its capacity from the current 730 pupils to 1,000 pupils.
Meanwhile Milltown National School is to get an extension of one mainstream classroom and 2 special education classrooms.
Welcoming the news, Fine Gael TD and Minister of State Martin Heydon said: "both of these extensions will be very welcome in the area as capacity continues to grow for school places."
He added: "It's is important now that these extensions as well as other planned extensions in the area would move quickly to ensure sufficient capacity for all those who need it in the year ahead”
