St Corban's Boys National School
A Naas school is to be knocked to the ground and rebuilt.
The St Corban’s Boys National School, which opened in the 1950s, will be replaced with a new premises accommodating at least 16 classrooms.
A planning application has been received by Kildare County Council which proposes to demolish the existing school building and remove all existing temporary school buildings.
The plan is to build a new two storey school with 16 classrooms, three resource rooms, two staff offices, two base classrooms for a special needs unit and a central activities space.
The planning application also proposes a new vehicle/pedestrian entrance from Corban’s Lane and one from Loch Bui.
There will also be two ball courts, a junior play area and a soft play area.
The school has about 500 pupils.
Four years ago the Department of Education opted to refurbish and extend the building - rather than build a new facility.
