Rathlin Island, known for its unique beauty and vibrant community, is on the brink of an exciting development in the educational sector. A recent planning application submitted to Causeway Coast & Glens Council has unveiled plans for an ambitious extension to St Mary’s Primary School, located at Church Quarter, Rathlin Island, Ballycastle BT54 6RT. This initiative marks a significant investment in the future of the island's children and the broader community.
The application details a comprehensive proposal to expand the existing facilities of St Mary's Primary School. The envisioned extension includes the construction of a new classroom and storage area, addressing the growing needs of the school and its students. The proposal also includes the formation of a retaining wall along the south and east boundaries of the school premises, ensuring the structural integrity and safety of the new extension.
Moreover, the plan introduces the addition of new fencing and gates along the western boundary of the school. This feature is designed to enhance the security and safety of the students and staff, creating a secure environment that fosters learning and development.
The proposed extension is more than just a structural development; it represents a commitment to the educational advancement of Rathlin Island's youth. By providing a modern, spacious, and secure learning environment, the project aims to enrich the educational experience of current and future students. The new classroom will accommodate a growing student population, ensuring that the school can continue to offer high-quality education to its community.
