Welcome to St. Anthony's School Website!St. Anthony's School is a Special School catering for Primary (aged 4 -12 years) and Post Primary (aged 13 -18) girls and boys who have Mild General Learning Difficulties. We aim to provide a caring, learning environment which facilitates the nuturing and development of each pupils' full educational potential. St.Anthony's recognises that all pupils are individuals with personal gifts, strengths and needs, and we offer an individualised education to all pupils which is centred around their own personal Individual Educational Plan. There is a large staff of dedicated Class Teachers, Special Needs Assistants and Specialist Teachers of Woodwork, Home Economics, Music and P.E. who all work alongside the Principal Teacher, School Nurse, School Chef, School Secretary and the School Caretaker. The school is managed by a voluntary Board of Management with representatives from our Patron Western Care Association, the Teaching Staff, Parents and the local Community. |
