Parents

Welcome to our Parent & Guardian Information Hub

We’d like to warmly welcome all parents, guardians, and families of current and future WETNS pupils.
This section provides key information on our Child Safeguarding Statement and Child Protection Risk Assessment, both of which are reviewed and updated annually by our Board of Management to ensure the highest standards of care and safety for every child in our school.

At Waterford ETNS, our Designated Liaison Person (DLP) for Child Protection is Principal Patrick Pender, and our Deputy DLP is Dearbhail Ivin.

Parents and guardians can manage school-related communication easily through Aladdin Connect, where you can submit absence notes, send messages to teachers, give permission for school activities, and stay up to date with important school information.
