Educate together national school
Hello I’m Joe! Welcome to Tully ETNS, the newest addition to the rapidly growing community of Cherrywood. It is a great honour to be able to open a school in these wonderful surroundings right beside such a lovely park. The Tully area of Cherrywood provides a rich natural and historical environment, and we intend to immerse ourselves in this environment in providing for the children of this school. The outdoors provides great opportunities for learning.
Over the next couple of years, we are going to see massive changes in this area as the community grows around us and we will have a very big role in the defining and developing of it. We see our school as being at the centre of this community. For my entire teaching career, I have been passionate about developing a sense of community and a positive learning environment for everyone in my care. As a school we are committed to providing a child centred, co-educational, equality based and democratic education to all of the children who attend this school, in line with the core values of Educate Together. Parents and other members of the community will be an integral part of this. I am very excited with the adventure ahead of us as we strive to build this school as a centre of excellence.

Like many other schools in Ireland, Educate Together schools are state-funded and teach the National Curriculum. They are non-fee-paying schools and are open to students of all backgrounds. They are coeducational and have no school uniforms. But they are much more than that: Educate Together schools work hard to instil a sense of equality and justice in students. They embrace the input of parents, students, staff and the wider community to improve the school in every way
possible. They are committed to enabling students to achieve their full potential. All students are encouraged to explore their full range of abilities and are provided with equal opportunities regardless of their identity. Educate Together schools put students at the heart of all policies and practices. All children have equal access to school and no one religion or worldview is given priority over another in Educate Together schools. We believe and teach in the following four core principles.
