About
Letterkenny Educate Together National School opened in 2006 and occupies an easily accessible central site in Letterkenny. As a co‑educational primary school it operates under the Rules for National Schools and is overseen by a Board of Management, with staff whose qualifications meet Department of Education and Skills standards. The school delivers the Irish Primary School Curriculum while fostering an inclusive, child‑centred learning environment. The ethos is built on four core principles: equality of access and respect for children of all social, cultural and religious backgrounds; encouragement for pupils to explore the full range of their abilities and opportunities; a child‑centred approach to teaching and learning; and democratic governance that invites active parental participation while upholding the professional role of teachers. These values are reflected in initiatives such as the Active School and Green School programmes, a vibrant student council, and a focus on hands‑on science discovery. Rapidly developing and popular with families in Letterkenny and its surrounds, the school offers a supportive community atmosphere, modern teaching resources and a commitment to nurturing each child’s potential in a safe, welcoming environment.
