Students at Stepaside Secondary School will join teachers and parents in march to highlight concerns over delays to new school building
Students from Stepaside Secondary School in Dublin will down pens and leave their classrooms tomorrow to march with parents, teachers, and local politicians to highlight concerns over delays in building a new school.
In Stepaside’s four years in existence it has moved home no fewer than three times. It began life in prefabs in the car park of a local rugby club. Enrolment has stabilised this year at primary level but the pressure is now coming to bear at post primary.There are 380 schools listed on the Department of Education’s Major Projects building list.
These are all projects where the Department of Education fully agrees that the additional accommodation or school building is required. The school expects to grow by around 60 additional pupils every year for at least the next three - all to cater for local demographic growth. The school was the first on the Inishowen peninsula to build a special classroom for children with autism.
