We are committed to the vision of education outlined in the Blueprint for Educate Together Second-Level Schools and seek to build a team of creative and passionate educators who share our vision.
We use iPads and O365 to support and enhance learning. Teachers adopt a blended approach to technology and integrate the use of iPads, Teams and OneNote to provide learning experiences which are broad, balanced, challenging and responsive to individual needs.
Students’ written work in copybooks and laboratory reports was very good and greatly supported with teacher feedback and students’ use of a well-designed copybook checklist. In using the checklist, students have clear criteria that they can apply to their own assignments. Science Subject Inspection 2019
