The following school building projects are being progressed in Clane Co. Kildare to meet expected demand in the area.

Major building projects included as part of the Capital Programme:

Hewetson National School (Roll No 13920O) 

- This project has been devolved to the school management authority for delivery. As the project is at an early stage of the delivery process, it is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion.  This project will provide for accommodation for a 6-classroom school and 1SEN Base when completed.

St Patrick Boys National School (Roll No 19796C) 

- The Detailed Design Stage has been approved and the project will now progress to the next stage of architectural planning. The project when complete will provide for 24-classrooms plus 2-classroom SEN base.

In addition the following Additional School Accommodation project have been approved for a school in Clane. 

Scoil Mhuire Community School (Roll No 91372D)
