The 'Turus Room' - Applying Nurturing Principles Across Elmvale
Elmvale Nurtures All Children
For some children, being a member of a large class in school can present difficulties. For a number of reasons, children may have difficulty settling in school. This has huge consequences on what they will achieve. It has been shown that some children benefit from the support the "Turus Class" can offer. ('Turus' means 'journey' in Gaelic). We are not only the nurture class but our nurture support permeates through the whole school.

"It is not always up to you

But HOW you act
IS a different deal."
