Our Additional Education Needs Department currently has two Support Teachers (SETs) and three Additional Needs Assistants (SNAs). The Department is led by our experienced Additional Needs Organiser Ms. Kelly. Our Support Teachers engage in team teaching with the classroom teacher and support literacy and numeracy in every classroom. They also withdraw groups and individual children for support.  We can also offer advice on how to access support for your son from outside professional agencies.

We have two autism classes- Sonas and Áthas. We have one teacher for each class and four and a half SNAs. Inclusion is at the heart of our school. Our staff are dedicated to make the learning experiences of all our children as meaningful, inclusive and enjoyable as possible.

If your child finds the areas literacy, numeracy social skills, motor skills etc. challenging, then he/she may be referred to our Special Education Teachers, who will assess what additional supports he/she may need and then develop a support plan to help him. Our Special Education Teachers also work with children who have been identified/diagnosed with specific additional needs. 

If you are considering enrolling your child in our school and know that your child has additional needs, it is vitally important to contact our school as soon as possible. We can apply for access to a Additional Needs Assistant on your behalf. We can also offer advice on how to best access support for your child.
