Learning-centred
The school prioritises learning as its primary goal and provides a rich and stimulating curriculum that caters to the diverse needs and interests of all students. Teachers use a variety of teaching strategies and resources to engage students and help them to develop critical thinking, problem-solving and creative skills.
Child-centred
Our school is child-centered, we recognise that children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process and when their interests and strengths are taken into account. Teachers in Scoil Chlochair Mhuire provide opportunities for children to take ownership of their learning and encourage them to ask questions, explore ideas and take risks.
Positive discipline
Our school has a positive and supportive approach to discipline that focuses on encouraging good behaviour rather than punishing bad behaviour. Teachers model and reinforce positive behaviour and provide clear expectations for behaviour and consequences.
Communication
The school encourages open and effective communication among all stakeholders, including students, teachers, parents and the wider community. Teachers provide regular feedback on students' progress and encourage parents to be involved in their children's learning.
Well-being
The school prioritises the well-being of all students, recognising that mental and physical health are essential for learning and development. Teachers here aim to create a safe and nurturing environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle, positive self-esteem and emotional resilience.
Professionalism
Our school is staffed by highly qualified and committed teachers and Special Needs Assistants who are dedicated to their profession and who continuously seek to improve their knowledge and skills. Our staff work collaboratively with colleagues, parents and other professionals to ensure the best outcomes for our students.
We believe that such an ethos fosters a positive learning environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
