Hospital School CHI at Temple Street

About

The Hospital School CHI at Temple Street is an accredited primary and post‑primary school operating within Children’s Health Ireland’s Temple Street Children’s University Hospital. Funded by the Department of Education and Skills, the school delivers a child‑centred curriculum that aligns with the national curriculum while accommodating the unique health‑related needs of its pupils. Teaching is designed to ensure continuity of learning for children who are receiving inpatient or outpatient care, with flexible timetables and personalised support that integrate medical treatment schedules. The school benefits from purpose‑built facilities situated alongside the hospital’s clinical services, including dedicated learning spaces, access to the on‑site restaurant and parent accommodation, and a supportive environment that promotes wellbeing. Resources such as the hospital library and information services are available to staff and students, fostering a collaborative atmosphere between educators, healthcare professionals and families. This integrated approach aims to maintain academic progress, social development and emotional resilience for children during periods of illness or recovery.
