Minister for Education and Skills

Applications for patronage of the new post primary schools to be established in 2015 and 2016 are currently being sought by my Department from prospective patrons. Details of the arrangements for patronage of new schools and the criteria for deciding on patronage for them are available on my Department's website, www.education.ie. The arrangements in question will apply to all prospective patron bodies including Educate Together.
