Summer Programme in Special Schools
- Published: 23 March 2023
The Department of Education has announced a time revision for the operation of the Summer Programme for 2023. The length of the day will be reduced from the full school day to 10.00am – 2.00pm. The introduction is part of the pilot for special schools only and does not apply to mainstream schools or special classes in mainstream schools.
A Summer Programme webinar took place yesterday evening (Wednesday, 22 November). It involved a panel discussion, providing information on the key features of the pilot programme, some vignettes from successful programmes and addressed some challenges.

On Tuesday, 28 March at 7.00pm, an online panel discussion on the Summer Programme with four Principals of Special Schools will be facilitated. This webinar is aimed at those who are considering organising a Summer Programme, or considering working on a Summer Programme in a Special School. It will provide an overview of how the Summer Programme has run in individual schools, as well as looking at some of the challenges the schools have faced, the successes and practical tips that may help other schools considering running a Summer Programme.
