Kilkenny school gets green light to build much needed extension

A county Kilkenny primary school has been given permission to build a much needed extension which will see the school increase its current size by 50%.

Kilkenny County Council has granted permission to the Board of Management of Ballyfacey National school near Glenmore to build the extension.

The new build will include a brand new classroom and a Special Education Teaching/ resource room for the school.

The mixed-gender school currently caters for around 60 students in two classrooms and the 110sq mt extension would provide the South Kilkenny school with much needed extra space.
