At St. Patrick's, all students study Irish in Year 8. At the end of Year 8, students choose two languages from French, Irish and Spanish which they will continue to study up to the end of Year 10. In the Junior School, all students are allocated three periods of Irish language per week. We currently use the Irish in Close-up series to deliver Irish at Key Stage 3 as well as blended learning resources to teach grammar and structures.
Irish Medium students complete their GCSE in Year 10.
