History
A group of parents launched a campaign in 2015 to establish an Educate Together secondary school in Dublin 13. On 13 April 2018 the Minister for Education and Skills announced a 1,000‑pupil school would open in 2019, and on 31 October 2018 Educate Together was granted patronage. The school opened its doors in 2019, becoming the 17th Educate Together secondary school in the country.
