High Expectations
Limavady High School takes great pride in being one of the first schools in Northern Ireland to implement research informed Knowledge Organisers with all pupils in Key Stage 3. The Knowledge Organiser sets out the important, useful and powerful knowledge for each subject on a single page. Pupils follow a weekly timetable and through regular retrieval practice and self quizzing develop their core subject knowledge.
