caption_attribution_description: English: Wilson's Hospital, Multyfarnham. Andrew Wilson founded Wilson's Hospital in 1761 as a school for young Protestant boys and a hospital for old men, hence the name. In 1969, Preston School from Navan amalgamated with Wilson's. Preston's pupils included girls so coeducation was introduced. The link with Preston School was given permanent expression in 1993 when the new teaching block was named the Preston Building It operates as a seven-day boarding school, operating a five-day teaching week. This allows boarders the option of returning home at weekends or remaining at school to avail of our weekend programme. Day pupils are drawn from surrounding areas and participate fully in the life of the school.
