The Junior Cycle caters for students during their first 3 years of secondary education.
The Junior Cycle places the student at the centre of the learning process. It allows for new ways of learning and a broader range of skills to be properly assessed.
Principles, Key Skills and Statements of Learning
Supporting the new Junior Cycle are a set of principles, key skills and statements of learning. These will ensure that your child receives a rich educational experience that has both breadth and depth. Your child will have access to a varied curriculum of knowledge, understandings, skills and values. Eight principles underpin the framework for Junior Cycle. These inform the planning for, as well as the development and implementation of, Junior Cycle programmes in all schools.
Parental engagement is a vital part of the Junior Cycle process. For more information for parents on all aspects of the Junior Cycle, please click on the link below:
