Our Ethos





​What is Educate Together? 

Picture
Educate Together National Schools are a specific type of state-funded primary school in Ireland. They are part of the National School system that was established in 1831 and which, together with the Special Schools, comprise all State-funded primary education in Ireland. All National Schools, whether Roman Catholic, Protestant, Islamic, Jewish or Educate Together schools are funded by the State on an equal basis. They operate the same National Curriculum, follow the same Rules for Boards of Management and are staffed by teachers who have the same level of professional qualifications and recognition.

What Makes Educate Together Schools Different?

Where schools differ from each other is in their “ethos”. The ethos of a school describes its spirit and character. This is built upon its aims and objectives, its policies and procedures and should be reflected in all interactions within the school community. Thus, the ethos of a school impacts strongly on the kind of education delivered to its pupils.
 
Our School's Vision Statement   

At Castaheany ETNS, we endeavour to create a happy and safe environment in which children learn and play inclusively.

We want everyone in our school community to feel comfortable and secure, to be themselves. Just like Educate Together’s motto, “No Child is an Outsider”, we embrace and welcome the diversity of our school community.
 
We are committed to developing and fostering a life-long love of learning in each child, in an atmosphere of mutual respect, creativity and fun.
​

We believe in a child-centred curriculum. We strive to meet the needs of each child so that they can achieve their full potential: academically, emotionally and socially.
