From September 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter, the school’s enrolment number will reduce to 420 places and a 26 place part-time nursery unit will be established.
The Minister said:
“My decisions today address an anomaly which existed in relation to the admissions and enrolment numbers at Carr’s Glen Primary School and also address a shortfall in pre-school places in this area through the establishment of a statutory nursery unit at the school.”
Concluding the Minister said:
“I want to ensure that at least one year of pre-school education is available to every family that wants it and I wish Carr’s Glen Primary School continued success.”
