Catholic Primary Schools in a Changing Ireland – Sharing Good Practice on Inclusion of All Pupils
This booklet is a resource for Catholic schools in developing such policies and in sharing best practice. It was published in response to the forum report and to the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector: Progress to Date and Future Directions (2014) issued by the Department of Education.
In Part One of this paper there is an analysis of foundational issues, including a vision of what a Catholic primary school strives to be, while Part Two details good practice with regard to the education of all pupils in Catholic primary schools. It should be emphasised that this document does not purport to provide a full understanding of Catholic schooling. Rather the focus is precisely on the holistic education of non-Catholic pupils in Catholic primary schools.
