Welcome

Welcome to the website of Thornleigh Educate Together National School. Thornleigh ETNS is a vibrant and welcoming school community where pupils are actively engaged in their learning and development, and where honesty, respect and kindness are fostered. We know that it takes a village to raise a child, and our team of dedicated staff work together with parents, the patron body, the school's Board of Management and members of the wider community to develop the physical, social, emotional, intellectual and creative potential of all the children in our care. We strive to ensure all pupils receive an inclusive and stimulating education which supports and motivates them to achieve and to become lifelong learners. We hope that our website gives you a flavour of our school community, ethos and culture. Please do get in touch if you have any queries.

About our School
|
|
Thornleigh Educate Together is located in Applewood, Swords. The school first opened its doors in September 2008 with just 37 pupils and two teachers, and has grown to become a vibrant community with 300 pupils and almost forty staff. As an Educate Together primary school, we are guided by the principles of being:
|
Equality-Based
All children have equal access to the school and no one religion or worldview is given priority over another within the school. |
Child-Centred
Our child-centred approach means that we put children at the heart of all policies and practices and involve them in decision-making where appropriate. |
Co-Educational
All children are encouraged to explore their full range of abilities and are provided with equal opportunities regardless of their gender or identity. |
Democratically Run
Our school is run on a democratic basis, encouraging active participation by parents and students in the daily life of the school whilst positively affirming the professional role of the teachers. |
