There are students in the school who may require additional help. Their needs are being met in the following ways:
A number off first and second year students are receiving extra help in English and / or Maths.

Students who perform significantly below their chronological age, due to a specific learning difficulty, weaker ability or emotional and behavioural difficulties are targeted.

First Year students are identified on the basis of assessment test results and information received from the primary schools.

Second Year students are identified on the basis of First Year exam results and referral from class teachers.

Students are tested and appropriate programmes of work are devised for them. These programme are implemented in small groups or on an individual basis.
