Proposed Educate Together school in Citywest-Tallaght

ET_Citywest

Hi all,

We are a group of parents from the Citywest, Tallaght and Saggart areas who are trying to establish an Educate Together primary school in the Tallaght/Citywest area.

If you would be interested in sending your child to such a school, please fill out the pre-enrolment form which is available at our website.

For more information, please feel free to contact us. Contact details are available on our website.

An Educate Together national school will most likely not be opening in Tallaght-Citywest this year (2009). The Department of Education and Science have informed us that they do not intend to recognize a new school in Tallaght in 2009.

We encourage any interested parents to continue to make representations to their local political representatives to change this decision. Furthermore, the Department of Education and Science intends to recognise new schools in the general Tallaght area in 2010 and 2011.

The patronage of any proposed new schools has not been decided and any interested parents should also advocate Educate Together as the patron of a new school in the area to ensure that parents have the right to decide on the type of education their children receive.

We are still actively working towards opening an Educate Together School in 2010 and are completely committed to this. I will continue to post updates on our progress.

Any children who have been pre-enrolled for 2010 (and onwards) will retain their positions on the pre-enrolment list. Any children who are placed on the pre-enrolment list for 2009 will retain their position on the list for a place in senior infants in 2010.

Best of luck with the school setup. I was in the group that opened the Maynooth school last year - it's a lot of work but was well rewarded when we opened the doors last September. If you've any questions or want any advice on the hurdles we had to overcome feel free to ask.

Thanks

I don't want to hijack this thread (it's about the Tallaght startup) so I'll PM you
