Welcome to the Portobello Educate Together School Start-up Group!

If you are a parent playing the school-waiting-list waiting game, you’ll know that there is huge demand for additional capacity in multi-denominational school places in the Dublin 2, 6, 8 and 12 areas. Given the demographic make-up of the areas, it is clear that this demand is increasing. That’s why a group of parents have got together and are working to create a new Educate Together school. We want to have this school up and running for September 2011. But we can't do it alone!

Have a look at the News page to see just how much we have achieved since we set up in January 2010. And please help! It's easy to get involved - check out the Campaign page and spend just a few minutes lobbying your local representatives (lobby templates supplied on the page). Every email you send can make a difference.

We are currently pre-enrolling children for Junior Infants from 2011 through to 2015. Click here to request a form or email pmdsenrol@gmail.com

The demand for this new school exists. With help from other parents we can create another multi-denominational school for our children and our community. If you want to get involved, or for any other information, then get in touch:
