A huge congratulations to all of the pupils and staff in Cheeverstown School as the school has been awarded the Active School Flag. The Active School Flag (ASF) is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. The Active School Flag was awarded to the school in October / November 2018 and will remain valid for a period of three years after which time the school will be invited to re-apply. A huge thanks to our Principal, Ms. Sheelagh Jones who co-ordinated the application process.
The Pieta House Amber Flag Initiative recognises the individual efforts of schools, companies and groups to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental well-being and unites these groups in their efforts, working together toward a happier, healthier Ireland and eradicate the stigmas associated with mental health issues.
Cheeverstown School has applied to be considered for the Amber Flag. The school has identified a number of strategies already in place to promote positive mental health and are working on improving the promotion of positive mental health for all of the pupils and staff. This is an exciting development within our school.
Cheeverstown School provides education to children with severe and profound learning disabilities from the ages of 5 – 18 years.
Teaching and learning occurs under ten curricular areas and encompasses the use of ICT.
The Board of Management is responsible for the overall management of the school. The daily running of the school is the responsibility of the Principal, who is directly answerable to the Board. The Board is elected for a four year term.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Very high level of personal care for the service users. The upside is they have a lot of staff who have been there since it opened and know the clients. They finally got HIQA approval, which shouldn't have taken so long. However kudos to the middle managers and the front line staff who have worked so hard to achieve this. The organisation tends to be top heavy, following the HSE. Recommendation for the top end managers "Eyes to the Stars, Feet to the Ground"!!!

Good facilities and great staff. My cousin has been going here for a number of years and she's well looked after. They offer a number of programmes which are very beneficial to people with disabilities and helping them to upskill and get jobs. She has gained a lot of confidence through Cheeverstown.
