To ensure that all children no matter their ability are given the same opportunity to succeed.

To provide education facilities so that every child’s true potential can be realized regardless of their individual challenges. Students are encouraged to learn through their own individual learning style and with the support of Individual Education Plans where necessary. All students are treated equally regardless of their ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability.

Scoil Sinead will:

• Promote all students spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development
• Prepare students at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life, with a focus on the development of practical life skills and assisting children with special needs reach their full potential
• Reflect the specialist nature of the provision and the needs of the students and be based on well-researched and evidenced best practice.
• Provide mutli-disciplinary support where needed for all children in the school
• Provide any support such as counselling or guidance to parents, staff and students.
• Will go above and beyond to ensure that the children get whatever support they need to support them in their everyday lives.

By structuring the school appropriately, we will aim to eliminate the difficulties faced by students with autism in mainstream such as poor performance, behaviour/exclusion, bullying, lack of inclusion and lack of practical and academic skills.

The fundamental aim of Scoil Sinead is to provide

• HOPE for parents/guardians for children with and without special needs
• To create a safe haven for their children to ensure that they become role models
• To prepare the students to make the future a better place for all to be in without fear of exclusion.
• To foster an atmosphere of acceptance so that all students feel able to discuss their past experiences and understand the ways in which they can cope in the future.
• To provide a sense of awareness of their community and provide opportunities to be active citizens
• To provide each school under our patronage with a positive behaviour support system to encourage positive behaviours and to address any disciplinary issues in the school.
• To establish an autism class for every year to ensure the children develop with their peers.
• To send out well prepared, productive and responsible and contributing citizens to society and the global community.
