ADMISSION ETHOS STATEMENT
ETB schools are state, co-educational, multidenominational schools underpinned by the core values of:
- Excellence in Education;
- Care;
- Equality;
- Community and
- Respect.
As the state provider of education, the ETB sector defines a ‘multidenominational’ school in the following way:
In ETB schools, all students are given equal opportunities for enrolment in line with the Education (Admissions to School) Act 2018. Once enrolled, our schools strive to provide all students with equal opportunities to engage with the curriculum and school life. In all aspects of school life all members of our school communities are treated equitably regardless of their race, gender, religion/belief, age, family status, civil status, membership of the Traveller community, sexual orientation, ability or socio-economic status.
Our schools provide a safe physical and social environment that reinforces a sense of belonging to the school community and wider society. They strive to enable every student to realise their full potential regardless of any aspect of their identity or background. Our schools promote a fully inclusive education that recognises the plurality of identities, beliefs and values held by students, parents and staff. We prepare open-minded, culturally sensitive and responsible citizens with a strong sense of shared values.
In ETB schools, students of all religions and beliefs are treated equally. The school environment and activities do not privilege any particular group over another whilst at the same time acknowledging and facilitating students of all religions and beliefs.
Accordingly, St Paul’s Community College shall not discriminate in its admission of a Student based on the following grounds:
2.1. Gender of the Student or Applicant. However, where a school admits students of one gender only, it is not discriminatory to refuse to admit Students not of that gender;
2.2. Civil status of the Student or Applicant;
2.3. Family status of the Student or Applicant;
2.4. Sexual orientation of the Student or Applicant;
2.5. Religion of the Student or Applicant;
2.6. Disability of the Student or Applicant;
2.7. Race of the Student or Applicant;
2.8. The Student’s or Applicant’s membership of the Traveller community;
2.9. Special educational needs of the Student or Applicant. However, where the school provides education exclusively for a category or categories of special educational need(s) in a Special Class, it is not discriminatory to refuse to admit to that class a Student who does not have the specified special educational need(s).
St Paul’s Community College shall not charge fees or payments or seek contributions as a condition of admission or continued enrolment of a Student.
