Temple Carrig School (also known as Temple Carrig Secondary School) is a mixed, Church of Ireland, voluntary secondary school in Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland. It was established in September 2014 and is under the patronage of the Church of Ireland.[2] It is the first Church of Ireland voluntary secondary school to be established since the foundation of the Irish Free State.[3]
Students study the Junior Cycle curriculum for their first three years, the Transition Year syllabus (compulsory) for their fourth, and the Leaving Certificate curriculum for their final two.[4] [5] [6]
The school competes at a high level in rugby.[7] [8] The school also plays a range of sports like Hockey, Tennis, Badminton, Athletics and also does a lot of drama productions.
In 2015, the school became known for setting up a campaign to oppose the building of a McDonald's fast food outlet opposite; the planning battle was lost but the campaign became popular and the chain subsequently rolled back their plans for the area.[9] [10]
Alan Cox was appointed principal-designate in April 2013 before assuming the role full-time in February 2014.[11] In March 2024, Cox accepted a role as principal at Rathdown School from September 2024, and resigned as principal at Temple Carrig.[12] In June 2024, the school's board of management appointed Ms Deborah Crean to assume the position from September 2024.[13]
