Primary Classes

  • Our primary classes work with students ranging from 5-12 years of age.

    In Scoil Áine we follow the curriculum appropriate to the student’s abilities and strengths using a variety of resources and learning methods. 

    We engage with students to assist with their behavioural challenges and employ a number of approaches to help them learn to manage issues which may arise in their daily school or home activities.

    We liaise closely with our Social Care team who, with the school staff, have the child’s wellbeing at the hub of their time with us.  

    We regularly meet with parents/guardians to offer feedback on progress in school and to hear the perspective of the home carers.

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.
