PARTNERSHIP

The following table displays the ongoing partnerships developed between Mount Sion Primary School and outside agencies. The emphasis is generally on providing all pupils with interventions to ensure the maximum participation in school and in school activities however some interventions are for individual pupils. These partnerships have been developed over a number of years and further partnerships are continually nurtured.

As a school we work in partnership on an ongoing basis with agencies such as NEPS, TUSLA, EWO, the Visiting Teacher for the Deaf and the HSE. As such these statutory agencies have not been included in our DEIS planning.
