North Wicklow Educate Together Secondary School (NWETSS) is a multi-denominational school, dedicated to creating a co-educational, learner-centred environment where equality and democracy are celebrated and nurtured. Our school is committed to enabling students to become creative, empathetic, life-long learners who are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

VISION: Our vision is for a new model of second-level school, one that places the student – your child – at its centre. We aim to create a vibrant, welcoming school community to which every student feels a real sense of belonging. We use the best teaching and learning methods to enable each individual student to reach their full academic and social potential.

AIM: North Wicklow ETSS aims to provide an education that will enable all students to contribute meaningfully to their communities, embrace the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic society and develop the knowledge and skills necessary to live their lives and to build their careers in the 21st century.

OUR ETHOS: Educate Together Schools are committed to the values laid down in Educate Together’s Charter. Our schools are learner-centred, multi-denominational, co-educational and run democratically. This means that all members of the school community, whatever their social, cultural or belief background, work together in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. Students follow an ethical curriculum, which includes learning about different religions and belief systems. Our ethos provides a strong moral, ethical and spiritual framework for the whole school community, and informs all policies and practices in the daily life of the school.
