The school moved to its current premises in 2014, the premises being the first building to be divested from a religious body to the state, for multi-denominational education. Following the Forum on Patronage.<br \/>\nSince then, Canal Way Educate Together has continued to grow and the school will be fully developed into a two stream by 2022. We currently have 368 children enrolled, 25 staff, and offer classes up to sixth class.<\/p>\n<p>In the first 6 years of our school, we have succeeded in building a happy, enthusiastic school, with a
