Sod turned for Ashton’s new school

Having had drawings of the proposed new school on display around the school for a ‘while’, the immediacy of the start of work on this enormous project was very welcome.</p>
<p>Students now look forward to enjoying many ‘new’ features in the completed school, for example, being three stories high, having quite a significant glass fronted dimension to the building. The Sports Hall which has been totally refurbished, with new floors, new roof and upgraded facilities, will now be connected to the main school building.</p>
<p>New up to the minute Science Laboratories will be a feature of the new build, along with dedicated art rooms, language rooms, library, and enhanced woodwork, metalwork and Technical Drawing rooms.</p>

The Minister for Education and Skills, Mr. Ruairi Quinn sanctioned the building project early in 2012, with work starting on the resumption of school term, after the Easter holidays. Patron of the School, Bishop Paul Colton, Chairman of the Board of Management, Mr. John Deane, both supported Principal Mr. Landen when he stated it was ‘an exciting time for the school-students, staff and parents at Ashton’. This new facility will provide ongoing continuity for generations of Ashton students into the future.
