Little Stars Preschool Class

In September 2022 we opened our two Early Intervention Classes for children with Autism. These classes are known in our school community as Little Stars 1 & 2.  These classes are for children who have a diagnosis of Autism. Entry to the ASD Early Intervention Class is intended to provide support for children with ASD before they start school.

There is a maximum of 6 children in the class with a full-time teacher and two SNAs to support them (up to 3 children = 1 teacher and 1 SNA). This allows us to deliver a personalised and tailored education to meet the individual needs of each child.  Our aim is to help each child develop and reach their full potential in a holistic manner.  Within the class there are many opportunities for each child to develop academically, socially and emotionally.

Each child in the class has access to individual learning stations, sensory room, an outdoor play area and trained and supportive staff.

Children must be over 3 years of age on entry and should not be over 6 years of age in the final placement year.  Completed application forms must be accompanied by a psychological report with a written recommendation for an ASD class placement.

Please visit our Little Stars pages under the Class News Section of the Website to see the wonderful learning environment we have created for the children and the range of learning opportunities our experienced and talented staff create for the pupils on a daily basis.
