Transforming IT for Limerick ETSS
Connected Classroom, Secure Futures
Overview
Limerick Educate Together Secondary School (ETSS) is a vibrant, multi-denominational post‑primary school in Castletroy, Limerick. Founded in 2018 in temporary accommodation, ETSS has grown rapidly, now serving over 600 students in a purpose-built campus designed for 1,000 learners. With a strong focus on inclusive education, innovation, and ethical values, ETSS partnered with NTES to modernise its IT systems, supporting digital teaching, reliable communication, and robust security across their new school environment.
“Our goal here at ETSS is to ensure that student’s learning is supported. We are very tech enabled here and we needed a Wi-Fi system that would support 710 students, over 80 staff and all the other moving parts and NTES’s Rukus Wi-Fi was exactly what we needed in the school.” Eoin Shinners, Principal at Limerick Educate Together
Business Challenge
As ETSS transitioned to its permanent, state-of-the-art campus, it encountered several core challenges:
Rapid School Growth & Digital Demands
Scaling from temporary facilities to a modern campus created urgent needs for reliable IT infrastructure to support interactive teaching, administrative functions, and digital learning tools.
Consistent Connectivity Across Campus
The new three-storey campus with multiple learning spaces called for a unified, wired and wireless network capable of handling peak digital usage.
Ensuring Security & Compliance
With sensitive student and staff data emerging digitally, ETSS needed secure systems, access control, and compliance-ready IT architecture.
The NTES Solution & Results:
NTES worked closely with ETSS to deliver an integrated, school-tailored IT environment focused on connectivity, usability, and digital safeguarding:
Enterprise-Grade Network Rollout
Implemented a dual-layer wired and Wi‑Fi setup across all areas, classrooms, corridors, sports and breakout spaces, ensuring reliable connectivity for students and staff.
Cloud-Based Learning Platforms
Introduced centralised cloud solutions for file sharing, collaboration, and educational apps, allowing teachers to deliver engaging lessons and giving students easy access to digital resources.
Modern Security Infrastructure
Deployed identity and access controls, content protection, and ongoing monitoring to secure sensitive data and maintain compliance with educational IT standards.
Seamless Implementation & Training
NTES carried out deployments and configurations with little interruption to school routines, followed by training sessions to help the staff integrate new systems confidently.
Ongoing Monitoring & IT Support
Post-launch, NTES continues to manage performance, security, and network health, enabling ETSS to prioritise teaching and learning over IT concerns.
Ongoing Partnership
NTES remains ETSS’s trusted digital partner, delivering proactive IT support, infrastructure tuning, and planning for the future. As ETSS continues to expand its student body and adds new technology-enabled learning initiatives, NTES stands ready to support with scalable solutions, ensuring connectivity, security, and innovation keep pace with the school’s vision.
“Working with NTES is great, and their support is top notch. They bring a very personalised and professional support to the solutions they offer to the school. They are local and very much invested in the community. And if we do encounter any issues or need technical advice or support, they are hands on, its instant, and it gives us the peace of mind to be able to focus on the important stuff here in the school which is teaching and learning.” Eoin Shinners, Principal at Limerick Educate Together
