Excellence
We believe that St Malachy’s College promotes high aspirations for all our pupils by working with them to:

•understand the uniqueness of each individual pupil
•promote literacy, numeracy and ICT to enable pupils to grow in confidence
•ensure that, through themed projects that they can link learning from one subject to another
•value and respect others and to celebrate diversity within the school community and beyond

High quality teaching and learning, assessment, monitoring and tracking student progress are at the heart of our curriculum.

Learning Experience
St Malachy’s College aims to develop the potential of every pupil through the provision of a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum. All pupils are encouraged to participate in curricular and extra-curricular enrichment activities designed to enhance their school experience. The College learning environment is as dynamic as the learning process itself, and constantly adapts to keep pace with new developments. Over the next few years further improvements to enhance the ICT infrastructure will be made and these will enable all pupils to enhance their ICT skills.

Partnership
The aims and ethos of the College are based on partnerships. These come in many forms and their success enables the school to be all that it is. We work very closely with our link primary schools to ensure that the transition from primary to St Malachy’s College is a natural and positive experience. We make sure we keep you informed of your son’s progress on a regular basis through our strong pastoral care system. A parent can always speak to someone who knows their child.

St Malachy’s has a very strong Careers Education Department which works in close partnership with a wide range of local companies to provide careers advice and guidance to pupils throughout each stage of the pupil’s education.
