Welcome from the Principal
Welcome to Cherrywood ETNS, the newest addition to the rapidly growing community of Cherrywood. It is a great honour to be able to open a school in these wonderful surroundings right beside such a lovely park. The Tully area of Cherrywood provides a rich natural and historical environment, and we intend to immerse ourselves in this environment in providing for the children of this school. The outdoors provides great opportunities for learning.
Over the next couple of years, we are going to see massive changes in this area as the community grows around us and we will have a very big role in the defining and developing of it. We see our school as being at the centre of this community. For my entire teaching career I have been passionate about developing a sense of community and a positive learning environment for everyone in my care.
As a school we are committed to providing a child centred, co-educational, equality based and democratic education to all of the children who attend this school, in line with the core values of Educate Together. Parents and other members of the community will be an integral part of this.
I am very excited with the adventure ahead of us as we strive to build this school as a centre of excellence.

Helping Students Grow and Learn
Our Ethos
Educate Together schools are national schools, teaching the full primary curriculum. They are child-centred and focused on the best possible educational outcome for your child. Our teachers bring the curriculum to life by encouraging children to think, question and engage both with their teacher and with each other.
Equality-based
All children have equal access to the school and no one religion or worldview is given priority over another within the school.
Child-centred
Our child-centred approach means that we put children at the heart of all policies and practices and involve them in decision-making where appropriate.
Co-educational
All children are encouraged to explore their full range of abilities and are provided with equal opportunities regardless of their gender or identity.
Democratically-run
We run schools on a democratic basis, encouraging active participation by parents and students in the daily life of the school whilst positively affirming the professional role of the teachers.
