Post Primary

  • In Post Primary we facilitate students in a wide range of Junior and Leaving Certificate subjects. We work in parallel with their own school to maintain the curriculum  where appropriate, and to ease their return at the appropriate time. Contact is established once permission has been granted by parents/guardians. 

    We have two post primary classrooms accommodating Day Attending and In-patient students . Each class has a maximum of six students and two staff, which allows for a lot of individualised teaching. We modify our delivery of the curriculum to suit the educational requirements of the student at that moment in time.

    We continually liaise with the CAMHS teams. Clinical appointments and wellbeing programmes (SLT, OT, Psychology etc.) are accommodated within the school day.

    Working in small groups, we aim to provide a positive school experience allowing the young person to recover and learn in a more relaxed environment.

Our belief

In Scoil Áine we believe there are four important strands to a young person having an effective and constructive placement with us:

 

The student – We recognize that we all have different learning styles and so offer a broad, balanced, relevant curriculum successfully delivered through a variety of approaches

The Family – Open channels of communication between parents and the school result in positive outcomes which benefit the young person in school and at home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The mainstream school – When the time is right to begin the re-integration process, the schools work closely to agree a transition plan and timeline specific to the individual student.

The Multi Disciplinary Team (MDT) – The collaborative work between ourselves and the CAMHS teams (Inpatient and Community) is an ongoing process with regular reviews and meetings, informal discussions and formal therapeutic interventions (SLT, OT etc.)

Our common goal, achieved by working together, is for the child to recognize their abilities, reclaim their self-esteem and live their life to the fullest extent. 

Our Policies

We regularly review and update our comprehensive set of school policies ensuring the best practices and guidelines are in place. All policies, including our five pillar policies listed below, are available in our school office or on request.
