The Board of Management of Glounaguillagh National School, subject to the agreement of the Patron and Trustees/Property Owners, intends making part of the school premises available for the provision of afterschool services by an independent, external, third party operator.
The successful applicant will be granted a licence to use a section of the school premises for specified days and times for a period of ten months (duration of the school year) and shall be responsible for the independent operation of the facility and the employment of all staff in the facility.
The arrangement will be subject to a number of terms and conditions.
Interested parties should in the first instance submit a written expression of interest, made by post and addressed to the Chairperson of the Board of Management of Glounaguillagh National School, Caragh Lake, Killorglin, Co. Kerry or by email to office@glounaguillaghns.ie no later than 4pm on Friday 30th January, 2026.
Further information will issue to all parties that submit an expression of interest.
If any interested party has an objection to the proposal to make the school premises available to an independent, external, third party childcare provider, such objections should be (i) made in writing; (ii) sent by post addressed to the Trustees/Property Owner of Glounaguillagh National School, C/O Chairperson of the Board of Management of Glounaguillagh National School, Caragh Lake, Killorglin, Co. Kerry; and (iii) reach the school by 30/01/2026. Any such submissions must be made on objective grounds.
I found the post useful because it explains how schools can offer their premises for childcare services through a fair and open application process. It shows that schools must advertise the opportunity and allow external providers to apply under clear terms and conditions. I remember during a busy semester when I was managing multiple deadlines, I once used BTEC Assignment Writing Help to stay on track. It reminded me that clear structure and planning make any process easier to handle.
