SEN

​DEDICATED LEARNING SUPPORT

There is a deep commitment in this school to supporting students with Additional Educational Needs (AEN) through a caring, inclusive, and student-centred approach. Guided by the Department of Education’s Continuum of Support framework, we provide structured and flexible interventions tailored to each student’s needs.

SEN

Support is delivered at three key levels

Support for All: High-quality, differentiated teaching ensures that all students benefit from a positive and inclusive learning environment.

Support for Some: Targeted interventions are provided for students who require additional support in specific areas of learning, wellbeing, or behaviour.

Support for a Few: Individualised, intensive support is offered for students with more complex or long-term needs, often in collaboration with external agencies and specialists.

Working closely with parents, students, and professionals, our AEN team ensures that every learner is supported to reach their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally – within the inclusive ethos of our school

Junior Cycle Cooking Class

SPECIAL CLASS (ASD)

This class caters specifically for students with a diagnosis of autism and allows for specialised, individual, and small group teaching for students, who also remain integrated with the mainstream student body. Our class reflects the inclusive ethos in Presentation Secondary School which is based on the belief that students with special needs should receive their education within the most supportive environment. The focus on realising the full potential of each individual student will endeavour to develop the students’ life skills and prepare them for life after school in an ever-evolving model of best practice. Students who have written confirmation from the National Council for Special Education of their eligibility for the special class are entitled to apply for a place in the class as per the admissions policy.

SEN

Supporting Exceptionally Able Children

In addition to providing for students with additional learning needs, we recognise and support Exceptionally Able Students. All staff have received training in supporting the exceptionally able and a dedicated team to supporting the students.

SEN

SNAS

Our Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) provide invaluable shared support to students with additional care needs, enabling them to access the curriculum and fully participate in school life. Working under the guidance of the SEN team and classroom teachers, SNAs offer practical assistance in areas such as mobility, communication, and organisation while also fostering independence and self-confidence in students.

Care

Learning Support

In consultation with parents, small group tuition is offered to junior students who have learning difficulties in English or Mathematics.  If your daughter is already receiving Learning Support in Primary School and has been assessed, please make sure that her principal forwards all necessary documentation to this school as soon as possible.  Help for students with special needs is given in accordance with department of education and science guidelines and funding.

“Resources were very effectively used and allocated, including those related to special educational needs (SEN). Leadership and the SEN team closely analysed the needs of students, and endeavoured to integrate students into the life of the school as best fitted those students’ needs.”
