As a Department of Education and Skills (DES) school we provide an educational service for school aged patients. Our teaching staff enable students to continue an educational program and keep in touch with their “home school”. School activities are designed to complement the child’s day in the hospital. We work collaboratively with hospital teams, home school, families and the student.
Children attend school in a classroom, or receive schooling at the bedside. Our school hours and holidays are similar to those of all DES schools. We are a well resourced school and have wonderful support from DES and the hospital community.
We warmly welcome all children to The Hospital School.
If your child or a child from your school is admitted to St Raphael’s Ward, please contact us, as we welcome all communication with home and home-school.
