Educate Together Campaigns & Start-up Groups
Educate Together schools are established in an area following an engagement process with local parents. A start-up group is established which liaises with the National Office staff and assists with establishing the extent and longer term potential of local parental support for the school.
The establishment of any new school can be a long process that continues for many years. A start-up group is made up of parents who want an Educate Together school for their children. In recent years Educate Together has grown substantially and parental support for these campaigns has been critical to the successful establishment of schools.
Below you will find a list of active start-up groups and links to Expressions of Interest forms for each area where there is a possibility of the establishment of an Educate Together school at national or second-level.
