Bray is the only town in Wicklow that the new Educate Together school will serve.
December’s Wicklow Voice exclusively revealed Bray as the location for the new school.
However the new information regarding the school’s catchment area has led local Independent TD Stephen Donnelly to call on the Minister for Education to reexamine the issue regarding its catchment area.
“School patronage was awarded to Educate Together in Bray on the back of the needs of parents and children in Wicklow,” he says.
“1,066 families in Wicklow expressed interest while only 133 families from outside of Wicklow expressed any interest in the school, yet the main feeder schools will be in Bray, Ballybrack and Kilternan.
“This is completely unacceptable given the demand for access to second level Educate Together schools in Wicklow,” Mr Donnelly adds.
