Welcome

Welcome to the Dyce Academy website.

The aims of Dyce Academy are to provide a wide range of interesting and enjoyable educational activities which will provide pupils with opportuntities for the development of:

  • basic skills, both within subject areas and across the curriculum
  • knowledge and understanding
  • particular abilities, talents and interests
  • social skills, including the development of self-respect and consideration of others

within a structure which allows for the different needs of individual pupils.

We seek to achieve these aims by:

  • creating a positive working atmosphere in appropriate and pleasant conditions
  • using a variety of learning and teaching approaches within a clearly structured framework
  • drawing on a wide range of resources
  • encouraging pupils to work towards realistic but challenging targets
  • monitoring and recording individual pupils’ progress in an appropriate manner
  • giving pupils, where appropriate, some choice in, and responsibility for their own learning
  • evaluating current school practices on a regular basis
  • providing staff development programmes
