Home Based Summer Programme

These are the details on the Home Based School Programme for 2026.

In order to avail of this please read the Overview Terms and Conditions document on this page carefully.  Then parents who are interested need to email the school on admin@sbc.ie with the name of the student and year group.   We will assess whether your child is eligible under the criteria set down by the Department and if they are we enter the details into an online portal.  Both the school and the parent will then get a sanction email.  

Parents must then source a teacher or an SNA to do the programme with your child.  We will ask all SNAs and teachers in the school if they are interested in doing the support and will gather a list of their names and email addresses.   If you wish us to send out the list please let us know and we will email it out to you.  The parent must then make contact with the Teachers or SNAs.  If none of these people are available the Overview Terms and Conditions document gives further guidelines on sourcing a teacher or an SNA.

It is the responsibility of the parent and the teacher/SNA to then make their own arrangements and to fill in all forms relating to payment, vetting etc.

The Sanctioning Portal is only open until the 15th May so please make sure to have any applications into the school by then.
