Áthas Senior is an extremely important class in our school for children with moderate general learning difficulties. Our special class caters for eight children and our educational philosophy is to integrate as much as is appropriate and practical and to endeavour to give our children access to as broad a based curriculum as possible.

The range of children within this class ranges from third to sixth class. Work is differentiated to accommodate the various levels of ability and ranges of age and curriculums such as NCCA Primary Moderate General Learning Disability Guidelines to develop an appropriate structure within the class which is very individual depending on the children’s needs and strengths. The classroom has a well facilitated sensory room to ensure the children’s sensory needs are met.
