Limavady High School is a controlled, co-educational school which offers a comprehensive education to all children living in Limavady town and area.    The catchment area extends from Coleraine to Londonderry and beyond.    It is staffed to deal efficiently with all ability levels ranging from those who are potential  A  Level candidates to those who require special help in the basic subjects.    The school has an expertly staffed Special Needs provision.

Opened in 1961, the school occupied the buildings in Irish Green Street formerly used by Limavady Grammar School, adapted for our use and augmented.    These premises have either been completely refurbished or replaced and now provide some of the most modern and best equipped teaching areas in any school in N. Ireland.    In September 2001 the former Dungiven High School was absorbed into Limavady High School.

The governors of the school are particularly proud and supportive of our well developed pastoral system; its main purpose is to help and support young people as they mature.    We encourage high standards of discipline and personal behaviour.    The school also prides itself in its academic record, community involvement and sporting achievements.

Limavady High School provides a full range of learning activities and has adjusted well to meet the rapid changes which are taking place in education.    This prospectus is designed to help inform parents of many of these developing areas.

The governors and teachers of the school believe that success in education relies heavily on a good working relationship between parents and the school and between teachers and pupils.    They are committed to ensuring that what pupils learn should prepare them for lifetime learning, and the world of work and leisure.

Limavady High School serves a wide catchment area and we hope that many new parents will choose to send their children here.    Hopefully this prospectus will prove informative and useful and will encourage parents to seek further information about our school.    The governors, headmaster and staff are available, at all times, to answer your enquiries.
