Clondrohid National School is an Inclusive School.
We welcome all children, of all abilities.
Droichidín is a very special part of our school. We are privileged to work with some fantastic children and their families. Our main priority is to provide a happy, safe and caring environment where teaching and learning can take place for every child. We value a child-centred approach to learning and we strive to accommodate individual learning styles so that every pupil may experience success and develop independence.
The happiness and wellbeing of our children is of the upmost importance and we pride ourselves in our dedicated team and the relationship they have with both our children and their families.
Inclusion is very important to us in Droichidín. We like to support our children to integrate into the mainstream school community in a way that meets the needs of each child. This may be done by integrating into a mainstream class or through reverse integration.
Our “Buddy” system has also been very successful. We currently have three classrooms; Sonas (Early Intervention), Suaimhneas (Junior ASD Class) and Spraoi (Senior ASD Class). We are also very lucky to have such fantastic resources available to us such as the use of a Sensory Room, an equipped Gymnasium with O.T equipment, the Astro Turf, running track and the kitchen for baking.
We have a fantastic sensory garden that our children love to play in that is equipped with swings, slides, trampolines, climbing frames and a sensory path. We are also very proud of our latest addition, our chicken coop, which our children love and has been an invaluable learning tool. Droichidín is extremely lucky and has the opportunity to attend weekly swimming lessons as well as social outings each month. We hope you enjoyed your tour of Droichidín and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
