At Castlederg High School, we aim to provide high standards of learning and teaching for all pupils.  It is an environment in which we place a strong emphasis on nurturing each pupil’s motivation to learn. We offer pupils a wide range of quality learning opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, that promote:

• enjoyment in learning

• academic achievement

• personal, social, and emotional development

• independent learning

• access to pathways for the future.

Our Learning and Teaching Policy aims:

• to recognise that each pupil’s potential should be developed as fully as possible in relation to his/her ability;

• to provide an appropriate curriculum for all our pupils, thus allowing all pupils to make progress in their learning;

• to ensure a stimulating, well-resourced learning environment which encourages pupils to learn;

• to promote a common approach to teaching strategies which enhances the learning process of the pupils;

• to develop the skills and capabilities which are at the heart of the Northern Ireland Curriculum;

• to help young people become more responsible for their own learning and provide them with the skills to become lifelong learners;

• to provide opportunities for teachers to develop their approaches to teaching and learning by sharing good practice and through training programmes.
