Everyone associated with Castlelyons National School is proud of its record when it comes to being inclusive and welcoming.
Following sanction by the Department of Education & Science, Castlelyons NS will soon have 3 modern spacious rooms – one mainstream room and 2 rooms to accommodate pupils with special needs.
The special needs children currently in the school benefit from a caring and stimulating environment.
As part of the development, there will be a designated sensory area which is proven to be very benefical as well as wheelchair accessible toilets.
The main contractors for the project are Brendan Woods Construction who have an excellent track record when it comes to working on schools and colleges.
Director Fergal Woods was in Castlelyons National School last week to formally sign contract documents.
He did this in the presence of his foreman, Finbar McGuigan, architect Pat O’Hara, principal Nelius de Roiste, deputy principal Joanne O’Connor and parish priest Fr Gerard Coleman PP.
The school’s board of management was represented by chairman, Donal O’Connell and Fiona Murphy.
Principal Nelius de Roiste, said the contract signing was a very welcome development.
He also acknowledged the Department of Education’s role in expediting the project.
