Maynooth Educate Together National School
Maynooth Educate Together is an approved new primary school in
Maynooth due to open on 1st September 2008.In January 2008, an application was made to the New Schools Advisory Board regarding the opening of a new National School in Maynooth in September 2008. This followed a lot of work by a number of local parents who, with the help of Educate Together, arranged, publicised and held a Public Meeting and Pre-enrolment day in NUIM at which a number of children were pre-enrolled for the proposed school. On the 24th of April the Minister for Education and Science granted approval to the school. Pre-enrolment is ongoing for this school and places for 2008 are filling up fast. If you wish to pre-enroll for this year please fill out the pre-enrolment form and return it to the address on the form as soon as possible. A copy of the pre-enrolment rules is available here. (These documents require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader which is available here.) If you have any queries about the school or about enrolling your child please contact us and we will reply as soon as possible. See the News and About Us sections above for more information about this exciting new opportunity for children in Maynooth. What
