St. Bríd’s Special School

We are delighted to have been included in the Education Therapy Service along with the other special schools in Co Mayo which was announced today. We look forward to the potential this has for our pupils and wider school community and await further information regarding the service.

“For too long, families and schools have struggled to access therapies that children need to learn, communicate, participate and thrive."
