Féadfar painéal inmheánach d’iarratasóirí oiriúnacha a bhunú chun folúntais a líonadh a d’fhéadfadh teacht chun cinn laistigh de thréimhse ama ar leith ón dáta a fhaomhfaidh an Bord an t-iarrthóir rathúil (ceithre mhí i gcás poist mhúinteora agus fad na scoilbhliana do phoist CRS).

Hansfield ETNS is a fully developed vertical 3 stream school with 2 ASD classes. Our school building is bright and modern and located in the heart of the Barnwell/Hansfield estate in Dublin 15 close to Ongar village, Clonee village and the Meath border. We are the base school for a sub cluster of 8 schools.

We have an admin principal, admin deputy principal, 25 X MS, 7 X SEN, 6 X EAL, 5 X SUB, 8 X SNA, 1 X Receptionist, 1 X Secretary, 1 X Caretaker, 4 X cleaners and 1 X bus escort.

The Blanchardstown Shopping Centre is only a 5 minute drive from our school. We are well located in terms of the M50, Airport, City Centre, Phoenix Park and the National Aquatic Centre. We have numerous bus routes operating from beside the estate and Hansfield train station is a 5 minute walk away.

We will be beginning our 13th year in September 2023 and we are very proud of the 4 groups of past pupils so far who mostly attend Hansfield Educate Together Secondary School which is located across the road.

Our school community is vibrant, it is multicultural and it is strongly supported by a very practical BOM and an active PTA.
