EU Funding

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 support access to ICT infrastructures to engage with learning both inside and outside the classroom, activities such as those to support numeracy, problem solving and computational thinking, using technology such as robotics, coding and so on; activities to support literacy, and curriculum delivery of subjects such as history using digital storytelling, support for languages through apps such as Duolingo, and Sraith Pictúir, support to expand the use of Digital Portfolios, and provide opportunities to develop digital skills. We engaged in a series of Coding lessons with an external tutor. We enhanced our suite of Chromebooks.
