Blessington Educate Together NS

About

Blessington Educate Together National School is a multi‑denominational, co‑educational primary school situated 2 km from Blessington town in County Wicklow. The school provides a child‑centred, democratically‑run learning environment for roughly 100 pupils, including four mainstream classes and two special‑education classes. Its ethos promotes inclusive education, encouraging every child to thrive academically, socially and emotionally through the Learn Together Ethical Education Programme, which explores a wide range of belief systems, cultures and values. Set on a spacious 2.5‑acre site near the scenic Blessington Lakes, the school offers extensive outdoor facilities: expansive green areas for play and learning, dedicated sensory spaces, active play zones and a thriving garden that supports sustainability and hands‑on science experiences. Collaboration is central to school life, with a proactive Student Council, a dynamic Parents Association and regular community‑wide assemblies and fundraising events that reinforce a strong sense of belonging and shared responsibility.
