2Section 1 Introduction and Overview of LMETB
Louth and Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB) is the largest comprehensive educational
provider in the Louth and Meath region with a range of educational services from primary to post
primary and further education and training.
1.1 LMETB Schools, Colleges and Centres of Further Education and Training
LMETB manages three Community National Schools, sixteen post primary schools, one with PLC
provision, a Centre for European Schooling and two Post Leaving Certificate colleges. LMETB is also
joint patron of six Community Schools located in counties Louth and Meath.
Each LMETB school and college has proven itself as a centre of excellence in teaching, learning and
assessment in its local community. LMETB schools provide a welcoming atmosphere for students, staff,
parents and the local communities in which they operate. The LMETB school/college experience is one
where a warm relationship exists between teachers and learners and the atmosphere in lessons is positive
and conducive to learning. A broad and balanced curriculum with a diverse range of co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities where the aptitudes of students are central to its design is available in LMETB
schools. Each of these schools has built a very positive reputation in the local communities in which
they operate and each school continues to enjoy strong parental support and a high level of satisfaction
with the quality of teaching, learning and assessment. LMETB looks forward to replicating this
excellence and innovation in education in Ashbourne CNS.
At Further Education and Training level, LMETB manages nine Youthreach Centres, a Regional Skills
and Training Centre and an extensive range of Adult Education Services throughout counties Louth and
Meath, including Adult Learning Services, Community Education, Back to Education Initiatives (BTEI),
VTOS and Adult Guidance. Details of all LMETB schools and centres are included on our website
www.lmetb.ie and in Appendix 1 of this submission.
LMETB was established under the Education and Training Boards Act 2013. The Act, which took
effect from 1st July 2013, provided for the dissolution of thirty three Vocational Education Committees
and the establishment of sixteen Education and Training Boards (ETBs) through a process of
aggregating existing VECs. LMETB was formed due to the aggregation of Louth VEC and Meath
VEC.
The Further Education and Training Act 2013 which was signed into law in July 2013 established
SOLAS, the Further Education and Training Authority with responsibility for planning, funding and
co-ordination of the Further Education and Training Services provided by ETBs. This Act also
provided for the transfer of the former FAS training functions and staff to the newly formed ETBs.
On 1st July 2014, the former FAS training centre in LMETB therefore came under the governance of
LMETB.
LMETB is a progressive, dynamic organisation which responds to the needs of a growing
population. Demographic changes and population growth in counties Louth and Meath has
contributed to this very exciting and challenging period for LMETB. Increased enrolments and the
commencement of four new post primary schools in Ashbourne, Drogheda, Dundalk and Navan over
3the last five years coupled with an extensive number of building extension projects to LMETB
schools and colleges in both counties reflect these changes. In September 2018, LMETB also opened
a new Community National School in Faughart, Co. Louth and in September 2019, LMETB will
open a new Community National School in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath.
1.2 LMETB Vision and Values
Louth and Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB) is committed to excellence and
innovation in the education of young people and adults through the provision of dynamic services

Ashbourne CNS will be a multi - denominational, co –educational school under the patronage of
LMETB, a leader in educational provision and the patron of a range of schools and educational
programmes in Counties Louth and Meath. As a multi - denominational school, Ashbourne CNS will

Our vision for Ashbourne CNS is of a welcoming, diverse and dynamic school that provides a quality
learning experience with the learner as core. This vision is linked to the LMETB’s high level strategic
goal included in LMETB’s Strategy Statement 2017 – 2021 Strategy Statement Name
Students at Ashbourne CNS will feel a sense of belonging and will develop a love of learning through a
positive and happy school experience. Students will be motivated and provided with opportunities to
become active and responsible participants in their own learning. The school community will work with
all partners and stakeholders to prepare knowledgeable and socially responsible citizens for the future.
Ashbourne CNS will expect all members of the school community to treat one another with respect. The
school will promote high standards of behaviour centred on respect including respect for self, staff, other
students, visitors to the school and respect for property.
Students at Ashbourne CNS will have a school uniform which will give students a sense of belonging to a
particular school and create an identity for the new school in the community. Once appointed the
Principal of Ashbourne CNS will consult with Parents/Guardians on the school uniform.
2.1 Ashbourne CNS School Ownership and Management
Ashbourne CNS will operate as a primary school. It is the policy of the LMETB through the Chief
Executive, Mr. Martin G. O’ Brien, to devolve responsibility for the day to day leading and managing of
the school to the Principal and the Deputy Principal.
The Senior Management team will be ably assisted by the Assistant Principal I, Assistant Principal II and
teaching teams to promote top quality leadership for learning at the school. Secretarial, caretaking and
cleaning staff will be on hand to support school management throughout each academic year.
5All members of the school Board of Management will be formally appointed to the Board of Management
by LMETB irrespective of whether they are a parent, teacher or Board of Management nominees. This
requirement will also apply to the filling of casual vacancies as much as to the establishment of a Board.
The School Principal will be a member of the Board of Management (CNS Schools) and will be Secretary
to the Board of Management (post primary schools)
The Board of Management will be responsible for high standards of governance at the school. The
Principal will keep the Board of Management well informed on school matters. A Financial Report will
be provided to the Board of Management at each meeting for discussion on school finances. At the end of
all Board of Management meetings, the Board will compile an agreed report and a written copy of this
will be circulated to the relevant stakeholders.
The Board will be responsible for ensuring that a very effective system of policy development and review
is in place and that all stakeholders including students, staff, parents and the Board of Management are
consulted in policy formulation, development and review.
The Board of Management of Ashbourne CNS will have specific responsibility, following consultation
with principals, teachers and parents for preparing a Code of Behaviour for the students registered at the
school as outlined in the Education Welfare Act 2000, S23.
Board of Management members will also be provided with training twice yearly by LMETB to assist
them in fulfilling their role of members of the school’s Board of Management.
LMETB suggest that in order to support a multi denominational school of the future, a patron must have
the ability to give school Boards of Management professional support in terms of Corporate Governance.
LMETB commit to providing the Board of Management of Ashbourne CNS with a range of professional
support in the areas of Educational Leadership, Human Resources, Finance and Administrative matters,
Capital Works, Information and Communications Technologies and Corporate Governance and Audit

8Opportunities will also be provided for the Student Council to meet with the Board of Management and
discuss their plans for an academic year.
As the school grows and develops, the Student Council will be comprised of elected representatives from
the student population in 3rd – 6th classes. A member of staff will liaise with the Student Council
throughout the academic year.
It is also envisaged that the Student Council will become involved in the School Self Evaluation Process
throughout the school year. As part of the School Self Evaluation process school management and
teachers will be encouraged to seek feedback from the students on different strategies being used to
support teaching, learning and assessment in the school. The Student Council may play an active role in
this regard. Training on the process will be provided to members of the Student Council to assist them in
