School Support

SCHOOL SUPPORT

At St William’s, we work closely with a variety of external agencies to offer wider support to our families.

Father O’Brien

Father O’Brien is our Parish Priest.  He works closely with our school community to guide the spiritual life of our school.  He says Mass regularly in school and each class go up to church on Monday mornings to share in the celebration of the Eucharist. Father O’Brien and his Sacramental Programme team work with our Year 3 pupils to prepare them for the sacraments of Holy Communion and Reconciliation.

He works with identified pupils with cognition and learning needs in order to assess them and specifically identify what the pupil is finding difficult and why. He then provides school with strategies and advice that school then implement in order to further support the pupil.
