History
Aston Village Educate Together National School opened on 1 September 2008 with 65 children enrolled across three mainstream classes (Junior Infants to Second Class). The school was constructed within a 16‑week period and quickly became a focal point for the local community in Aston Village, north of Drogheda. Over its first year, strong bonds were formed with families and the wider area. Since then the school has expanded to a state‑of‑the‑art facility comprising 24 classrooms, a library, hall, special‑needs unit, garden and additional resources, while maintaining its founding ethos of a child‑centred, multi‑denominational, inclusive, democratically run, co‑educational environment.
