School Reopens at the end of August

In response to the present threat of Coronavirus (COVID-19), when schools reopen, ETSS Wicklow will be applying additional security and hygiene/sanitary measures to reduce the risk of infection for students, staff and all members of the school community. We will be announcing these new measures in due course and will also be appealing to all students, staff, parents/guardians and visitors to help us make the school as safe as we can during this time. 

WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE

This year Educate Together is developing a new secondary school in Wicklow Town and the fundamental principles of democracy and diversity will be seen at work right from the start. At Educate Together, we are passionate about bringing learning to life - through discussion and debate, critical thinking and problem-solving, creativity and communication. We believe in methodologies that make learning make sense. 

There is no bigger adventure than to build a school together. We want to be innovative and listen to all ideas that can help us build a better school. Thank you for visiting our website and we hope you find our way of looking at education refreshing and inspiring. For further information, please feel free to contact us.
