Welcome to our Yellow Corridor

OPENING September 2023: Our 5th Autism Class: for Junior/Senior Infants

EARLY INTERVENTION Class OPENED September 2022

Classes

Here in Midleton CBS Primary School we decided that every corridor would have a colour assigned to it and each classroom on each corridor would have a name associated with that designated colour. Our Yellow Corridor is where we have our four classrooms for autistic children and these classrooms are called:

An Spreach - The Spark
Junior Infant Class: OPENING September 2023
An Solas- The Light
An Ghrian- The Sun
An Realt- The Star

In each class the children are supported in an environment of a maximum of a 6:1 ratio of pupils to teacher and they are further supported through the allocation of two SNAs per class. Each member of staff is trained and experienced in using a variety of methodologies, approaches and techniques allowing us to support our children even further depending on what best caters to the needs of each individual child. Our aim is to help each child develop and reach their full potential in a holistic manner.

We also strive to create the highest possible levels of inclusion and promote understanding, acceptance and appreciation of all children. Opportunities for inclusion are availed of when and wherever possible. This inclusion happens formally and informally, both in the playground and in the classroom environment providing many opportunities for each child to develop academically, socially and emotionally.

Every child in the centre has access to

individual learning stations
opportunities to participate in mainstream classroom activities and classes
quiet zones
our gym area
our multi sensory equipment
our sensory room
our outdoor play area
highly trained and supportive staff
our life skills room
outings eg trips to the library, local playground, cafes, cinema etc
swimming classes
and much, much more

You will see the children's work through various stages of each process as it is the journey and not the end product that contains the real learning.
