Additional Information:
Harcourt Terrace ETNS is a warm and inclusive primary school, located in the heart of Dublin city centre. Our school first opened its doors in 2018 with one Junior Infant class. Since then, we have grown to cater for mainstream classes from Junior Infants-6th class, as well as four classes for autistic students. When fully developed there will be 21 mainstream classes and 4 specialised Autism Classes.

We are now in our new permanent building at Harcourt Terrace (D02 FC64), situated in the city centre. Our school is easily accessed by various modes of public transport by all stakeholders. Please be aware there is no parking available on site for staff.

Candidates should also be willing to engage in professional learning to enhance their role.
