PROJECT BACKGROUND;
Navan School Completion has been in operation since **Apply on the
website**. It currently has 6 schools in the cluster, 2 at Post
Primary school, Beaufort College and St Joseph?s Mercy Secondary. At
primary level , St Joseph?s Mercy Primary, Scoil Naomh Eoin, Scoil
Mhuire, St Oliver?s NS.
As a programme we are governed under LMETB, funded through TESS/TUSLA.
Our core ethos is to work with young people in Primary and Post
primary school to achieve their full educational potential through
completion of their leaving certificate or equivalent. Our core areas
are attendance, retention, and participation of our young people.
Navan SCP aims to provide a continuum of support for targeted children
and their families to assist the targeted student in achieving a
minimum standard of education based on his/her individual needs.
We aim to achieve this Mission Statement by:
* Providing positive opportunities of engagement for targeted
children and their families
* Supporting children?s attendance, participation, and retention
in the education system to maximise their potential.
* Adhering to National Policy (Better Outcomes, Better Future) and
Governments programme for government in relation to education needs
* Focus son the individual child and his/her individual plan.
* Using a multi-dimensional, inter-agency approach to address
targeted young people?s needs particularly involving School
Completion Programme, Home School Community Liaison and Education
Welfare Service.
* Ensure a consistent response without delay to ensure connectivity
is maintained
* Listening to the voice of the young person in developing
opportunities for their individual needs
* Targeted response to young people who are ?at risk? of early
school leaving
* Working at interagency level to ensure all resources are in place
for the young people.
* Delivering interventions in line with Retention planning process
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The process will involve a full profile and needs analysis of Navan
SCP
It will incorporate an evaluation of current programme and the
delivery of interventions to targeted students within the cluster.
Through Profiling, Navan SCP will complete a comprehensive analysis of
current data.
The process will involve liaison with NSCP Coordinator and LMC Members
to confirm an agreed methodology and process for consultation with
schools, community groups, parents, students.
* To develop a strategy that can feed into future strategic planning
process.
* To evaluate current operations and identify the gaps in supports
and services to families , with a focus on recommendations.
* To identify the barriers and gaps in service provision and
supports to children families
* To make recommendations that will enhance service delivery to
students and families referred to NSCP
SAMPLE AREAS TO BE ANALYSED AND EVALUATED
* Levels of disadvantage in school population.
* Undertake an analysis of population within each NSCP School by
Address/Age/Gender/family structure.
* Compile the information and present data to inform need.
* Analysis of current referrals by age/gender/reason/area of

* Conduct a Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results
analysis as part of the research on service delivery.
* Analysis and review of current structure of targeted resources and

of need and the allocation of resources going forward.
IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY TO BE APPLIED

focused groups and interview research techniques. It is expected that
it will be participative in nature and will include the voices of the
local community, families, children, and young people as well as
service providers. It is likely to involve the following:
* Desk based research of demographic on participating schools in the
cluster. (E.g. Census **Apply on the website**),

to structure the participative elements of the research.
* Focus on a SAOR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results
