Hello everyone,
My name is Conor, and I am the Principal of Skerries Educate Together National School. We are a school with more than 330 children from over 230 families. For the 2025-26 school year, we have 15 mainstream classes, from Junior Infants to 6th class, in addition to four classes for children with autism.
We are located on the northern coastline of Skerries and are very fortunate to have a bright, modern and spacious school building and accompanying grounds. This year sees the construction of a new extension to our school, that will deliver 4 new special classes in time for the start of the 2026-27 school year (we hope!) While this construction project will bring its own challenges and disruptions, it will be worth it to help enhance the provision of special education places in the local area.
We are a DEIS band 2 school, meaning that we are tasked with providing extra support and equality of opportunity to our children and families, especially to those that need additional help and attention. In order to achieve this, we provide hot school lunches, a nurture setting to support children, Play and Art therapy along with the daily work of our teachers to engage children and enable them to reach their full potential. Our team of staff members (including our SNAs, secretary, caretaker, bus escorts and cleaners) is motivated by helping children to develop their skills, creativity and interests in a respectful and dignified way. This is something that we are very proud of.
I hope that you find the information you are looking for on our school website, but if you still have any questions about our school, please feel free to contact us through the office. Thank you for your interest in our school.
Kind regards,
Conor
