They are non-fee-paying schools and are open to students of all backgrounds.  They are co-educational 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. <br><br>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4b2eccd6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"357\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/School-ethos-stock-photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/School-ethos-stock-photo.jpg 357w, https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/School-ethos-stock-photo-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 357px) 85vw, 357px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1172\" height=\"1563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Classroom-1-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Classroom-1-edited.jpeg 1172w, https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Classroom-1-edited-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Classroom-1-edited-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Classroom-1-edited-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/School-ethos-stock-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/School-ethos-stock-photo-2.jpg 361w, https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/School-ethos-stock-photo-2-300x270.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 361px) 85vw, 361px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#96ca48\">Find out more about Educate Together using the following links:<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.educatetogether.ie\/app\/uploads\/2019\/02\/10159-ET-PRIMARY_V5.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Educate Together National Schools: An Overview for Parents<\/a><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.educatetogether.ie\/app\/uploads\/2018\/09\/What-is-an-Educate-Together-National-School_-Brochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is an Educate Together National School?<\/a><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.educatetogether.ie\/app\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Educate-Togethers-Charter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Educate Together&#8217;s Charter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"875\" height=\"145\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mast1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mast1.png 875w, https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mast1-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stapolinetns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mast1-768x127.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stapolin Educate Together National School operates under the patronage of Educate Together.
