Our vision is to provide an option for our children to be educated in a school which is: Multi-denominational, co-educational, child centred and democratically run in the Tallaght/Citywest area of South West Dublin.
We aim to have this school open in September 2009

9/2/09 INFORMATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND SCIENCE

 Tallaght Citywest Educate Together NS will most likely not be opening this year as the current position of the Department of Education and Science is that they will not be recognising a new school in Tallaght in 2009.

 

We encourage the parents to continue to work to make representations to their local political representatives to change this decision. Furthermore, the Department of Education and Science intends to recognise new schools in the general Tallaght area in 2010 and 2011.

 

The patronage of any proposed new schools has not been decided and representations should also advocate Educate Together as the patron of a new school in the area to meet parents' right to decide on the type of education their children receive.

 

We would recommend that if your child is due to start school in September 2009 that you make alternative arrangements if you have not already done so for their primary education for the year ahead. We are still very much dedicated to the cause of opening an Educate Together School in Dublin 24 and will continue to work towards this goal.

What is an Educate Together School?
Educate Together schools are primary schools which are multi-denominational, child centred, co-educational and democratically run. They are non-fee paying and operate under the same rules as all other primary schools

How is an Educate Together School different?
In Educate Together schools the patron is a company whose legal basis obliges it to operate schools that guarantee access and esteem to children irrespective of their social, cultural or religious backgrounds
