Details of the 2026 Summer Programme were communicated to all schools on the 6th May 2026. All schools were offered the opportunity to run a school-based programme for children with the most complex special educational needs and those at risk of educational disadvantage.

Where a school does not run a school-based programme or there is no place on the programme for an eligible child, schools were invited to make an application for the home-based programme.

As outlined in the terms and conditions of the programme, a child who participates in the school-based Summer Programme cannot also avail of a place on the home-based Summer Programme.
