The Le Chéile Schools Trust is a charitable trust which manages around 60 schools in
Ireland on behalf of fifteen
Roman Catholic
religious congregations .
History
The majority of secondary schools and some junior schools in Ireland were established and managed by various
Roman Catholic
religious congregations . In the late 1900s, these religious orders had declined in number and it was decided to pool their resources in a number of collaborative arrangements known as trusts. The Le Chéile Schools Trust was established in 2004
[1] and fully enacted over the following years. The trust was formally established as a company limited by guarantee in 2008.
The trust was originally set up by twelve Roman Catholic religious congregations. In 2009, the
Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny joined the trust.
[2] followed by the Ursuline College in 2013
[3] and the
Marianists (St Laurence College) in 2019.
[4]
In September 2014, in
Tyrellstown near
Blanchardstown , the trust opened the first new Catholic secondary school in Ireland in thirty years.
[5]
Mission and establishment
Its mission is to maintain and promote the
Catholic ethos of these schools, and develop new schools where the need arises. There are a total of 59 voluntary and 7 community schools managed by the trust.
