Consultation Brief:

The curriculum of a school includes the range of subjects and modules that are accessible to students for each programme available in the school eg Junior Cycle, Transition Year, Leaving Certificate Established, Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme, Leaving Certificate Applied.

As a first priority, when the schools amalgamate, all current students in the amalgamating schools that are in the process of Junior Cycle / Leaving Certificate Established and Leaving Certificate Applied will have continuity of curricular provision. This is relevant especially to current 1st, 2nd and 5th Years. 

It is reasonable to focus on next year's 1st Year, 4th Year and 5th Year as good starting points for looking at the curriculum for St Seton’s. While many elements of curricular provision will remain the same, there is scope for introducing some new elements and positive changes.

A good curriculum caters for all levels of learning. At all times, the mission of the school to provide quality teaching and learning to all students will inform decisions about curriculum. Any changes introduced will be guided by the intention to provide equal opportunities to all students with a curriculum that broadly and inclusively meets their needs.
