I think it's 'special' in the sense of disruptive, as opposed to sensory deprived, pupils.
The school
Springboig St John’s School provides education and day and residential care for pupils experiencing social, emotional and behavioural problems. Many of the pupils have been absent from school for considerable periods of time, or have experienced learning difficulties, prior to admission. Residential care is provided on a 52-week basis if required. The principal also has responsibility for Francis’ Day Unit, Springboig, which is situated on the same premises. He is responsible to a Board of Managers.
At the time of the inspection the school’s roll was 39, two of whom were day pupils. Additionally, there were 34 pupils on the roll of St Francis’ Day Unit. Most pupils were in S3 or S4. One pupil in St Francis’ Day Unit and two in Springboig St John’s School had a Record of Needs.
