A substantial extension could be on the cards for a midlands school.

Wilson's Hospital School in Multyfarnham is planning an extension to the original building which would house new labs and practical rooms, classrooms and Autism classrooms.

The project is being designed by Dijk Architects, Dundalk.

The Westmeath school has been open since 1761, after local merchant Andrew Wilson transferred his estate to the Church of Ireland hierarchy to build a hospital for aged Protestant men and a school for poor Protestant boys.
