Next Generation EU Funded project
“This school received a grant in 2021 to implement initiatives aimed at addressing the digital divide and support our learners at risk of educational disadvantage as a consequence, as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) a project under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. This funding was used to purchase ipads for use throughout the school. These ipads were available for families to use in case of further lockdown due to Covid 19. We still use these ipads on a daily basis in each class.
