The Department of Education has confirmed plans for extensions to a secondary school and primary school in the wider Newbridge area.
St Conleth's Community College is to get a large extension of 8 mainstream classrooms, 6 special resource rooms along with a home economics room, science room, graphics room and ancillary accommodation.
This will allow the school to increase its capacity from the current 730 pupils to 1,000 pupils.
