Malahide/Portmarnock Educate Together NS

What Malahide/Portmarnock Educate Together NS does

Malahide/Portmarnock Educate Together National School (MPETNS) is an Irish state-funded co-educational primary school located on Malahide Road in Kinsealy, Dublin 17 (Eircode D17 DR97), serving children from Junior Infants through 6th Class. The school operates under the patronage of Educate Together, Ireland's largest secular school movement, and follows the network's equality-based, child-centred, democratically run educational ethos. There is no tuition; funding flows from the Irish Department of Education, with ancillary fundraising via a PTA.

The school's core technical footprint is a Chromebook-based learning environment running Google Workspace for Education (Google Classroom, Drive, Slides, Sites), surfaced through a published Chromebook Home Screen and integrated with third-party educational platforms such as Accelerated Reader, Kahoot, Canva, Tinkercad, Britannica School, and Typing Club. Its primary digital product is a Wix-hosted school website (mpetns.ie) serving as the communication hub for parents, plus teacher-maintained class blogs. The school has achieved a portfolio of formal designations: Active School Flag, Green School, Digital School of Distinction, Digital School of Europe, Amber Flag, and Discover Science & Maths.

Revenue is effectively a function of per-pupil Department of Education capitation plus limited ancillary income (PTA fundraising, Pieta House-related sponsored events); the entity is non-commercial and not investable in the conventional PE/VC sense. Customer mix is concentrated by definition - all pupils reside in the immediate Kinsealy/Malahide/Portmarnock catchment and admit via a school-run pre-enrollment process. Distribution is direct enrollment only, with no alternative channels. The school is governed by a Board of Management and operates within a wide local sports-club partnership network (GAA, rugby, soccer, hockey, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, climbing, equestrian) and national partnerships (Sport Ireland, FAI, Leinster Rugby, Fingal Sports Office).
