The school referred to by the Deputy is recognised as a single-sex girls only national school, which provides primary education for boys up to first class, as is common in many national schools throughout the country. However, agreement to amalgamate has been reached between the management authorities of this school and an all-boys national school in the area and the proposed new school will be recognised as a co-educational school.
