Preparations continue to facilitate the opening of Scoil Íosagáin in Castlecomer in September 2025.
Earlier this year, Castlecomer Presentation Primary School and Castlecomer Boys School jointly requested Bishop Coll, patron of both schools, to sanction the process of amalgamation of the two schools. This request followed consultation with the stakeholders – boards of management, teachers, pupils, and parents. The result will be a single co-ed primary school in Castlecomer – a fully vertical mixed school from junior infants to sixth class.

Bishop Coll replied to the boards earlier in March and granted this request, as has the Department of Education. Bishop Coll has also approved Scoil Íosagáin as the name for the proposed coeducational school which will emerge from the proposed amalgamation.
The Boards were keen to have a name in our native language and one that reflects the catholic ethos of our schools.
