CHILD-CENTRED LEARNING
Child-centred learning, which puts children at the centre of the learning process, is a
fundamental teaching principle throughout the school. It helps us to achieve 3 main goals:
- To increase the children's knowledge, experience and understanding;
- To produce life-long learners with high self-esteem, a strong sense of self,
a commitment to community and the skills to live a full and happy life;
- To provide the children with an opportunity to confront new information and
challenges, with the result that they gain self-confidence and develop a love of learning.
The child-centred approach also acknowledges the fact that not every child learns in the
same way: some children learn through listening, some through reading and others by doing.
Our school offers differentiated programmes of work to cater for different levels of ability.
Finally, child-centred teaching provides the children with the social skills and
self-knowledge they need in order to become whole, happy, successful human beings.
