The Transition Year programme has run in Ardee Community School since 2011. It is an optional programme. Each year, we have a very strong uptake with an average of 80% students opting for Transition Year after Junior Cycle. We aim to offer the Transition Year programme to as many students as possible each year. We provide a planned comprehensive programme of subjects and modules.
