Since 2013, significant provision has been put in place in Greystones to cater for additional primary school places.  This includes the construction of two new primary schools as well as providing 7 additional mainstream classrooms in existing primary schools. In total, this accommodation will provide capacity for approximately 1,000 pupils.

In addition, the building project to provide a permanent 24-mainstream classroom school for Greystones Community National School is currently at tender stage. This school, when constructed, will provide further capacity for over 600 pupils.
