What We Stand For

A school built around equality, community, and belonging.

Families in Dublin 15 are organizing for a local Educate Together national school that reflects the area we live in now: diverse, ambitious, and ready to grow together.

  • Multi-denominational education that welcomes every child and every family.
  • Local school places that reduce pressure on parents and cut long daily journeys.
  • Student-centred learning grounded in respect, inclusion, and active citizenship.
  • Real community partnership from enrolment through every stage of school life.

Got Questions?

Here are the answers people ask most often.

If you need more detail about enrolment demand, the campaign process, or how to help, start here and then get in touch.

Powerstown, Tyrrelstown, and the wider Dublin 15 area have grown rapidly. Families need a local multi-denominational primary option that matches current demand.

It means equality-based, child-centred, co-educational, and democratically run schooling where no child is excluded because of religion, background, or identity.

The campaign is coordinated by local families and supporters, with Grainne McCarthy serving as director and lead public contact.

Yes. Residents, grandparents, youth workers, local groups, and future parents all strengthen the public case for opening the school.

Canvassing, leaflet drops, phone outreach, event staffing, digital communications, and translation support are all valuable right now.
