From 2026/27, our school is transitioning to a one-to-one digital learning model, beginning with incoming First Years and continuing year-on-year in support of inclusive, high-quality teaching and learning.
As part of the school’s ongoing commitment to high-quality, inclusive teaching and learning, and in line with the principles of the Junior Cycle Framework, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Looking at Our School 2022, the school is operating a phased transition to a one-to-one digital learning model.
This transition is commencing with the incoming First Year cohort of the 2026/2027 academic year and will continue on a year-on-year basis with each subsequent intake, until the school community is fully operating within a one-to-one digital learning framework. Under this model, teaching, learning, assessment and student support increasingly assume that students have access to an appropriate personal digital device for use in school and at home.
The integration of digital technologies supports active and engaging learning methodologies, differentiated instruction, formative assessment and timely feedback, while also developing students’ digital literacy and independent learning skills. In accordance with UDL principles, digital tools enable flexible approaches to learning that support a diverse range of student needs and learning profiles, as reflected in the quality indicators outlined in Looking at Our School 2022.
The school is committed to ensuring that no student is denied access to education due to difficulty in accessing a device. Where families experience financial or other challenges, the school will work in partnership with parents/guardians to put appropriate and reasonable supports in place.
The school is particularly mindful of students with additional educational needs. Digital technologies form an important element of inclusive practice, supporting assistive technologies, differentiated resources and personalised learning approaches. Reasonable accommodations and access arrangements will be implemented, where appropriate, to ensure that all students can participate meaningfully in teaching and learning.
