Learning & Teaching
Schools who perform above the average usually have a clear focus on not only what they teach but how they teach. More fundamentally, they are aware of how pupils learn well and the best means to create a learning culture.
Whitehouse Primary School, we believe, is such a school. We are, however, not perfect and are on a continual journey to be better at what we do. What are some of the indicators that we have a clear focus on Learning & Teaching?
- We have an effective Learning & Teaching Team to oversee curriculum development;
- We have a sound record of staff development;
- We encourage an 'open classroom door culture' to allow staff to share good practice;
- We seek out good practice across Northern Ireland (Shared Education etc.) and internationally (Erasmus+);
- We have requests from other schools to see our practice and 'borrow' our staff for training;
- We are pleased that our pupils and teachers report high levels of confidence in our teaching;
- We believe our pupils' learning in key skills are above the national level of similar schools.
