A community school in Ireland could be set for a major extension as it looks to accommodate a growing number of students.
Enrolments at
Kinsale Community School are expected to climb from its current number of 770 to closer to 1,000 over the coming years - and principal Sean O Broin believes the increase in demand for places is down to the successes its pupils have enjoyed in recent times, the Irish Examiner reports.
Indeed, the school - which also caters for children with special education needs - has earned three top prizes in the BT Young Scientist awards in the last seven years.
Mr O Broin explained there has been a steady growth in student numbers at the school since it first opened in 1996 with 500 pupils.
He stated: "I would put it down to people voting with their feet, or with their children’s feet, as they have chosen our school over others in the city or other towns."
