    Abstract

    The first Educate Together second-level schools (ETSS) opened in 2014. In the academic year 2019-2020, there were 17 ETSSs. The ethos of ETSSs rests on four core principles: equality-based, co-educational, learner-centred and democratically run. Given the scale of growth, and the distinct ethos and climate of Educate Together schools, it is timely to examine how students attending these schools experience diverse aspects of their school life. This report is based on an in-depth mixed-methods research study conducted at 11 case study Educate Together second-level schools opened prior to 2019. It is informed by a survey with first- and second-year students (n = 877), 21 focus groups with students, interviews with 27 teachers, 11 school leaders,1 36 parents, six school board members, and four representatives of management bodies and patron bodies.
