Patronage process for school

FOUR school bodies have applied for the patronage of a new school for Newtownmountkennedy/ Kilcoole, which is due to open in September of 2019.

A new Online Patronage Process System (OPPS) has been developed to provide objective information to all parents and guardians which will allow them to make an informed choice in expressing a preference for their preferred model of patronage for their child’s education.

Scoil Sinéad Limited, Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB), Ed- ucate Together and An Foras Pátrúnachta are the bodies contesting the patronage process for the new school, which will consist of eight classrooms.

The voting process closes in Tuesday, January 15. Visit the Department of Education and Skills website in order to vote.

An Educate Together public meeting takes place on Thursday, January 10, in Kilcoole Community Centre, starting at 7.30 p.m.. All are welcome to attend. The purpose of this meeting is for the patronage of the new primary school.
