My Department is in regular communication with the school’s patron body, Educate Together, on this and other accommodation matters and the patron body keeps its school communities updated on an ongoing basis in relation to such matters.  The school were offered an opportunity to view the Citywest accommodation in December last.

My Department is in regular communication with the School’s patron body Educate Together to discuss accommodation and all other relevant matters in relation to their school communities.

The accommodation available to the school in CItywest consist of 10 full size classrooms, resource rooms, offices and specialist rooms. The accommodation is more than adequate to provide for the needs of all of the pupils enrolled in the school.
