Principal WETNS
Welcome to Waterford Educate Together National School – a vibrant, inclusive, and values-driven learning community. What makes our school so special is the powerful partnership between our fantastic staff, pupils, parents, and wider community. Together, we create an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
At the heart of our school is a strong ethos of equality, respect, and child-centred learning. This ethos underpins everything we do – it allows each member of our school community to feel safe, included, and celebrated for who they are. It’s what enables us to foster a warm, welcoming atmosphere where diversity is cherished and every voice matters.
Our state-of-the-art facilities support innovative, engaging learning experiences, and our passionate staff bring care, creativity, and commitment to every classroom. We believe deeply in nurturing the whole child – academically, emotionally, and socially – and our school culture reflects that care and holistic approach every day.
We also recognise the importance of supporting families, and offer wraparound care to help make school life more manageable and accessible for all. As one of the fastest-growing schools in Waterford, having doubled in size over the past decade and still expanding, we’re proud – but not surprised – by the strong reputation we’ve built. It’s a reflection of the dedication, collaboration, and shared values that define us.
I warmly invite you to explore our website and discover more about what makes Waterford Educate Together NS such a special place to learn and grow.
