Ennis National School
Ennis National School is a primary school in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland opened in 1897.[1] It was a boys' school for 95 years before becoming co-educational in 1992.[2] As of the 2018–2019 school year, it had 38 individuals in its teaching staff.[citation needed]
The school's curriculum includes participating in "Ennis Information Age Schools", leading a poetry project.[3] A team of pupils won the 2003 national Cadbury/NPC Challenge Quiz, out of 1,800 schools.[4]
Development of a replacement school on a new site was finally authorised by the Government in November 2006.[5] This followed a long campaign by parents.[6] The new building opened in 2014.[7]
