Curriculum

Special Needs

All students access mainstream curriculum mixed-ability classes. Special needs teachers give additional classes in basic literacy and numeracy skills to support students requiring such help. These students are withdrawn as required from language classes other than English. These arrangements are made in consultation with parents and the transfer of pupils to and from the supported teaching groups is encouraged, according to the needs of individual pupils.

Overall responsibility for co-ordinating special needs and the identifying, assessing and monitoring of pupils with special educational needs is undertaken by Ms. G. Daly in consultation with the Department of Education Psychologist, Ms. Colette Hourihan.
