Primary school built in just four months

THE first 80 pupils at a new Louth primary school will enter their gleaming classrooms on Monday — just four months after building work began.

Construction on Aston Village Educate Together National School in Drogheda started on April 28 and the keys were handed over to principal John Kelleher two days ago.

It is one of 26 start-up primary schools in rapidly developing areas of the country that were prioritised for funding by the Department of Education earlier this year and which will open their doors in the coming days.
