Our Deepest Sympathies to Jean Whiteford and the Whiteford family on the loss of Sarah Benn (Nee Whiteford).

Following a long process, where we had to overcome many obstacles and hurdles, we are finally delighted to provide an independently run Childcare Facility on our school grounds.

The Playschool Crosspatrick will operate from 7.50am to 5.30pm and will cater for morning drop offs, early learning and afterschool care. We wish them every success.

It is a securely fenced facility for child safety and will have use of a new covered outdoor shelter for those rainy days that have returned after the heatwave.

If the heatwave does return, the air conditioning system in the Childcare Facility will keep students nice and cool on those unbearably hot June afternoons.

While it can frustrate the population of Rural Ireland, it is not possible to open such a facility without being fully compliant with all regulations and statutory bodies.

Therefore we thank everyone for their patience and good will during this long process.
