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
