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 contribute towards the cost of a number of valued items within the school, including ipads and digital whiteboards. The school was also able to supplement the school’s digital equipment with the purchase of items like audio recording devices.
The funding was also used to offset costs associated with subscriptions to online platforms like Mathletics and Accelerated Reader.
We were very grateful to receive this funding and our pupils have certainly benefited from the initiative.
