Educate Together

Ethos

Educate Together schools offer a unique, inclusive, and equality-based learning environment. They are committed to providing equal access and respect for all children, regardless of their social, cultural, or religious background. These schools place the child at the centre of the learning experience and are guided by democratic principles, fostering a respectful partnership between parents, pupils, and staff.

Equality-Based

All students are treated with care and equal treatment regardless of their socio-economic, cultural or religious background.

Child-centred

Our child-centred approach means that we put students at the heart of all policies and practices and involve them in decision-making where appropriate.

Democratically Run

All community members – students, parents and teachers – have a voice in how the school is run.

Co-Educational

Students are encouraged to explore their full range of abilities and are provided with equal opportunities regardless of their gender.

Principal's Message

Welcome to our website!

I am delighted and honoured to be appointed as the new Principal at Ballinteer Educate Together National School, and I look forward to getting to know pupils, parents and staff over the coming months. It is a privilege to lead teaching and learning in this school.


Our school opened in 2012 and since then we have become a wonderfully vibrant school community with classes from Junior Infants to Sixth Class.
In September 2022, we moved into our new, purpose-built school building, located on a shared campus with St. Tiernan’s Community School. Ballinteer ETNS is a two-stream primary school with 16 mainstream classes from Junior Infants to 6th Class and two autism classes.
Looking forward to meeting you all in the coming weeks.
With every good wish,

Ruth Brennan
Principal
