The Abbey School (formerly Abbey CBS) is a Christian Brothers Secondary School in the town of Tipperary, County Tipperary, Ireland. The Abbey is an all-boys school and has 332 students [1]
In recent years the school has been extended twice. [2] [3] [4] The first extension is known as the " Edmund Rice Wing" and contains an area for student lockers as well as a Construction Studies room, Woodwork room and Technology laboratory. The second extension was the complete renovation of an old stable which is now called the "Mary Rice Centre" which houses a special needs area, learning support and one-to-one education and a library.[ citation needed]
The current principal of the school is David Sadlier [5]
A priory of Augustinian friars operated on the site from c. 1300 before being suppressed in 1539. [6]
After the Cromwellian conquest (1650s) the land came to Erasmus Smith. He established grammar schools in Tipperary, Galway and Drogheda, where the sons of his Protestant tenants were educated.[ citation needed]
The first building was destroyed during the Williamite War (1688–91). By 1702, there was a new grammar school, which lasted until 1820 when it was rebuilt.[ citation needed]
The structure that succeeded it burned down in 1941, soon after the Catholic Christian Brothers had assumed control.[ citation needed]
On 3 October 1955 the school was reopened as Father Humphrey's Memorial School. The school is named after Fr. David Humphr[e]ys (1843–1930) who had campaigned for the education rights of Catholics. [7] [8]
