About us
Holy Family School caters for the educational needs of children aged 4-18 years, developing with a moderate, severe or profound intellectual disability. We currently have 15 classrooms, a home economics room, hall, music room, bath therapy room, multi-sensory room and a new purpose built sensory gym.
Our school welcomes pupils with moderate or severe/profound general learning disability and pupils on the autistic spectrum. Pupil/teacher ratio for moderate general learning disability is 8:1; severe/profound general learning disability is 6:1 with autistic spectrum disorder 6:1.
The curriculum provided within our school is as outlined by the Department of Education and Skills Moderate or Severe and Profound Guidelines. Senior cycle pupils are offered the Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) at Level 1 and Level 2. This is a school certificate awarded to all students at the end of their Junior Cycle programme in recognition of the full range of their achievements at this stage of their education.
The Principal and teaching staff are all highly qualified and continually keep abreast of current educational developments. Support staff includes Special Needs Assistants, Nurses and the Multi-Disciplinary Team.
