Leitrim primary school seeks expansion to enhance special educational support
The Board of Management of Annaduff NS has applied for planning permission for a new extension, following previous expansions in 2015 and 2017.
The Board of Management of Annaduff National School has submitted a planning application to Leitrim County Council for a proposed extension and enhancement of special educational needs (SEN) facilities.
The proposed development includes the construction of a single-storey extension, incorporating two SEN classrooms, a central activities space and all associated ancillary educational spaces and circulation areas.
Additionally, the proposal involves the demolition of the existing standalone learning support room and ancillary sheds, along with the relocation of a hard-surface play area.
The development also includes the provision of a bus drop off area, pedestrian footpaths and all associated ancillary site works, as well as connections to services.
Annaduff NS, which accommodates approximately 200 students, underwent an extension in 2015 and 2017.
In addition to these expansions, the school has benefited from various upgrades, including the installation of an astroturf pitch and playground.
The school introduced its first SEN class in 2020, followed by a second in 2022.
A decision on the proposed extension and facility upgrades is expected by March 31.
