Repeat Leaving Cert Programme

The entire exam syllabus is covered in each subject in the Repeat Leaving Cert year, and students have the option to study additional subjects to maximise their CAO points.

The Ashfield College timetable combines focused tuition time and supervised study periods in a wide range of subjects.

Students have an unrivalled choice of subjects because, unlike most other schools, we build our timetable around the student. Repeat Leaving Cert students may choose from 24 subjects offered at Higher and Ordinary level:

Ashfield College teachers are highly qualified subject experts. Our teachers have extensive experience preparing students for the Leaving Certificate in their chosen specialist areas.

Our teachers are passionate and responsive to each and every student. They combine a genuine love of their subjects with a proven track-record of success in second level State Examinations.

Many of our teachers are published authors of Leaving Cert text books, while others are Leaving Cert State Examiners. Several of our teachers are also involved in teacher training at a national level.

MEET OUR TEACHERS >>

Our Ashfield College teachers teach their classes using our superb Ashfield College Manuals. These manuals are written by our teachers specifically for use in Ashfield College only. Our manuals are updated annually in order to ensure that we reflect the most current Leaving Cert exam papers.

Our manuals are professionally produced and cover the entire syllabus. Our manuals include accurate solutions to exam questions and subject-specific exam technique, all of which is vital for Leaving Cert exam success. Our manuals are not available to buy the shops and they are included in our school fees.

Ashfield College supports Repeat Leaving Cert students with live-streamed classes and recorded lessons. All Day School and grinds classes are streamed and recorded, giving students access to an extensive online library throughout their time at the college. These recordings allow students to revisit explanations, review challenging topics and reinforce their learning as they prepare for examinations.

Students also have access to Moodle, where teachers share additional learning materials and revision resources. Our Head of IT and Support Technicians help maintain the technology that supports classroom and remote learning.

Our teachers receive ongoing training in online teaching, ensuring that students have opportunities to ask questions, join discussions and engage with lessons, whether attending online or in person.

In Ashfield College, we are keen to ensure that students are supported both pastorally and academically. Below are some of the Support personnel available to all students.

Student Guidance & Wellbeing >>

Repeat Leaving Cert students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities that help build friendships, develop leadership skills and promote teamwork and a sense of community. Activities enjoyed by Ashfield College students have included careers talks with industry professionals, five-a-side football, theatre, cinema and art gallery visits, hiking and ice-skating.
