St. Brigid’s is a Special School in Mullingar, here we aim to provide a learning environment, in which each student is happy, secure, motivated, sensitively challenged, appreciated and fulfilled. We provide a service to students between 4-18 years old, whose primary descriptor is a Mild or Moderate General Learning Disability, in the Midlands for over 30 years.
We are committed to promoting a child-centred approach to education where a child’s worth is validated but not measured by academic attainments alone.
If a child is not learning we will ask: How can our teaching change to suit the child’s needs? Because we believe, ‘If children don't learn the way you teach you have to teach the way they learn’.
St Brigid’s has smaller classes, timetabling is shorter, intensity of interaction and learning higher.
Our Job is to teach the children in our care. We aim to give our students coping skills. We try to focus on Abilities rather than Limitations. Our attention is on Functional Life Skills, including academics with a progression to certification.
