Special Education Needs
Learning Support
We are particularly proud of the support that we give to students with special educational needs at both ends of the spectrum-gifted students and students with learning difficulties. This support operates on several levels. Each class teacher considers the needs of each individual student and provides differentiated learning opportunities to both challenge and support students. We also have dedicated learning support teachers, who provide designated students with one-to-one, small group or in class support to help enhance their learning.
Monitoring Progress
In St. Declan’s Community College, we aim to foster the academic achievements of each student to the full extent of his/her potential. Teachers regularly monitor the progress of students. At whole school level, we have procedures in place for identifying at an early stage, students who require intervention, so that we can take steps to encourage and further support their progress.
