Plans have been approved for a new primary school and nursery unit for Gaelscoil and Naíscoil Éanna in Glengormley.

The new primary school and nursery unit will replace the existing school on the Hightown Road. It will include seven classrooms, a playroom, a multi-purpose hall and a library. There will also be additional ancillary rooms, including administration and office spaces, school meals accommodation areas, multi-purpose rooms and secure outdoor play space.
