Welcome to SoNS! Saving our small National Schools.

Purpose.

Due to the proposal made by an Bord Snip Nua, the current value for money review audit and latest revision to pupil teacher ratio bands by the Department of Education & Skills - all of which threaten our small National Schools with possible closure, a national campaign has been actively working to resist these destructive measures that will negatively impact our children’s education and future.
