PAST STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

I enjoyed many things in my year in O'Fiaich but the thing I enjoyed most was meeting new friends and how helpful the teachers were in every module. They ensured we had the best resources to complete our assignments to the highest standard and were always encouraging and helping us throughout. I am progressing to Manchester Metropolitan University to do a BA(Hons) with QTS in Primary Education
