About
Limerick City East Educate Together (LETS) is a multi‑denominational primary school that forms part of the national network of Educate Together schools. The school follows an ethical, child‑centred curriculum that balances academic learning with the development of moral and spiritual understanding, equality, justice, belief systems and environmental stewardship. Learning is delivered in a co‑educational setting where interaction between pupils and teachers is encouraged, fostering tolerance, creativity and self‑confidence. Governance is democratic, with active parental participation in school life while respecting the professional role of the teaching staff. The school provides a range of specialised provisions, including two autism‑specific classes and an early‑intervention class for autistic children, alongside 16 mainstream classrooms. These facilities support a projected enrolment of 380 pupils for the 2026‑2027 academic year. LETS promotes a respectful atmosphere for children of all social, cultural and religious backgrounds, and it offers a flexible ethical curriculum (Learn Together) that can be accessed by parents. The school is currently accepting new enrolments and offers an online application process.
History
In 2002 a group of parents, chaired by Ingo Biggs, formed a start‑up committee to establish a second Educate Together school in Limerick. The school opened in September 2004 with 12 Junior Infants, operating from temporary accommodation in the Young Munster Rugby Club house. Since then it has expanded steadily, with a projected enrolment of 380 pupils for 2026‑2027. Leadership transitioned in December 2014, and the school now comprises 16 mainstream classes, two autism‑specific classes and an early‑intervention class for autistic children.
