About
Le Chéile Educate Together National School is a multi‑denominational, co‑educational primary school situated on the banks of the River Boyne, just two kilometres from the centre of Drogheda, County Louth. The school’s ethos is child‑centred and founded on the principle of respect, creating a safe, happy and vibrant environment where every pupil is valued equally. As an Educate Together school it follows the national Learn Together curriculum, which places a strong emphasis on ethical education, wellbeing and inclusive practice. The school’s self‑evaluation reports and wellbeing initiatives demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement and a supportive learning atmosphere. The campus boasts state‑of‑the‑art facilities, including dedicated spaces for art, music and drama, and a range of sports provisions such as a GAA team and coaching programmes linked with local clubs. Creative enrichment is further enhanced by programmes like the Blast Artist in Residence and a Creative Cluster that encourages artistic expression. Practical supports for families include free hot school meals (April 2024), a free book scheme, school‑run transport operated by Bus Éireann, and an online e‑payments system for fees and expenses. Le Chéile also provides a comprehensive suite of policies covering behaviour, health, digital safety, anti‑bullying, substance abuse, safeguarding and data protection, all of which underpin a nurturing and well‑regulated school community. Parents can engage through a vibrant Parent‑Teacher Association and a range of community links, reinforcing the school’s role as a hub for local involvement.
