10 Minute Towns |Access i b i l i t y & Framework Repor t
Education Special schools tend to serve a broad region rather than their local area exclusively. There are two special schools in the town, both located in the northern part of the town and with a resultant limited walking catchment. However, a limited proportion of the population use this type of school and these facilities tend to be limited in provision across a town in comparison to primary and secondary schools.
Primary schools are generally located close to the town centre with the exception of Ennis National School. Similarly, secondary schools are generally within the town centre with the exception of St Flannan’s College to the south, as shown in Figure 24. Therefore, there are large areas of Ennis that are not within the 10-minute walking catchment of a school.
