St. Teresa's Special School

About

St. Teresa’s Special School is a dedicated primary‑level special‑needs institution operating under the ethos and patronage of Ability West. The school provides a nurturing, inclusive environment for approximately 48 pupils, with a strong emphasis on developing living, functional and independent skills alongside the national curriculum. Teaching and support staff work collaboratively to create a holistic community where each child can reach their fullest potential, using best‑practice approaches tailored to individual needs. The school’s programme is enriched by a vibrant calendar of activities, including sensory adventures, immersive theatre visits and regular class‑based projects that foster creativity and social interaction. Classrooms are organised by colour‑coded “flower” themes (e.g., Daisy, Rose, Sunflower) to create a warm, recognisable setting for pupils. Facilities are designed to support both academic learning and therapeutic interventions, ensuring a caring atmosphere that promotes confidence, independence and personal growth.
