Riverwood is back in catchment for CCC

| Posted in Categories Schools

We have been informed that Riverwood is back in the catchment area for Castleknock Community College. There will be further information posted to the CCC and LCC websites early next week.
UPDATE: The Report on the Public Consultation is available on web sites for both schools.

This has come about after continued negotiation by a sub committee of the residents association over the last 8 years.

The updated admissions policies will be published by the two schools in the next few weeks. We wait with great interest these policies so that we can examine the exact wording of the changes.
