Welcome to our Yellow Corridor

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 currently have three of our five classrooms for autistic children and these classrooms are called:

Yellow Corridor:

An Spreach - The Spark - Mn. Andrea
An Lasair - The Flame - Mn. Lorna (Opens September 2023)
An Solas- The Light - Mn. John

Across in the main building you will find our two other classes. The reason for these classes being situated in the main building is due to the boys integrating with their peers daily. It is a huge achievement for these pupils and it shows how much they have excelled over the past few years. An Ghrian is located in the Red Corridor and An Realt is located in the Purple Corridor.

Main Building:

An Seagán - Mn. Eoghan
An Realt - The Star - Mn. Fiona

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 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
