Code of behaviour

The code of behaviour at Tullamore Educate Together National School has, as a basic tenet, a respect for each child as an individual; it fosters a positive atmosphere in which every child can learn, develop and reach his/her full potential. The Code of Behaviour enables teachers and pupils to work in a well-organised environment where acceptable patterns of behaviour are followed and where self-discipline, based on tolerance and respect for everyone, is fostered.

This code of discipline is an ongoing process that is currently being developed by all members of the school community: students, parents and teachers. The cornerstone of this code of discipline will be a positive focus.

First Name Policy

It is school policy that everyone in the school, including teachers, be on first name terms, creating a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
