Lucan East Educate Together National School

What Lucan East Educate Together National School does

Lucan East Educate Together National School (LEETNS) is an Irish state-funded primary school located at Thomas Omer Way, Kishogue, Lucan, Co. Dublin (K78 N8X4). Founded on 1 September 2008 under the Educate Together patron body, the school delivers mainstream primary education from Junior Infants to 6th Class along with two dedicated autism spectrum disorder (ASD) classes, adhering to the Learn Together ethical education programme covering Moral and Spiritual Education, Belief Systems, Ethics and the Environment, and Equality and Justice. Operating principles are equality-based, co-educational, child-centred, and democratically run.

The school's core offering is delivered by a stable staff cohort of 33 teachers and 13 special needs assistants, serving 400+ pupils, with supplementary before and after-school care provided through a partnership with Sherpa Kids. Underlying technology is minimal: a WordPress-based public website (lucaneastet.ie) for information dissemination and enrolment communications, and the Aladdin school management platform for parent engagement and fee collection. Enrolment is coordinated through the Lucan Common Enrolment System (LCES), a centralised partnership with three other Lucan Educate Together schools (Adamstown Castle, Esker, Griffeen Valley).

The revenue model is dominated by Department of Education funding for operations, salaries, and facilities, supplemented by nominal parent contributions of €70 per child per year for resources and pupil insurance. As an Irish national school, fees are not commercially negotiated; the institution is non-profit and operates within the state education framework. Recognitions include Gaelbhratach (Irish language), Green Schools Energy Flag (An Taisce), and Amber Flag (Pieta). In April 2025, the school relocated from its original Griffeen Avenue site to a new purpose-built facility funded by the Department of Education.
