St Mary’s High School in Brollagh, Co Fermanagh has been without a full-time, permanent head for years.
It has been an uncertain time for the Catholic post-primary school. It had been earmarked for closure due to low pupil numbers but this plan was rejected in favour of exploring a possible cross-border solution.
Governors are now seeking to appoint a principal, but only on a temporary basis pending the outcome of a feasibility study into the development of a pilot cross-border collaborative scheme.
Accessibility has always been a major issue for children. If the school shut down, pupils would be expected to travel to Enniskillen. While the school has an Enniskillen postcode, it is closer to Co Donegal than Fermanagh’s county town.
