The C.E.T.N.S. (formerly Cork School Project N.S.) is one of a growing number of schools established by parental action in response to their changing needs in an increasingly pluralist society. When the Cork School Project N.S. opened in 1987, the enrolment was 75 pupils who were taught by three teachers. The enrolment has, over the years, increased to 240 pupils and the school now has fourteen teachers. The school has an administrative principal, eight classroom teachers and four learning support/resource teachers.
