WHOLE SCHOOL EVALUATION REPORT

A Whole-school evaluation (WSE) report comments on the school's management, planning and management of resources; the effectiveness of teaching and learning; its arrangements for student assessment, supports for students, provision for minority groups and home-school links.

Depending on the size of the school, an inspector or team of inspectors visit the school for a period of time to evaluate management and planning; teaching and learning and supports for pupils.

Following this evaluation phase of WSE, inspectors discuss the findings and recommendations with school management and members of the teaching staff.

This is followed by factual verification of the report and a timescale is also built into the process for the school to respond to the WSE report.

At the end of this process the WSE report and school response (if the school has made a response) are published simultaneously on the Department's website.

The most recent whole school evaluation of our school was conducted during the academic year 2009/2010 and was published on the Department of Education and Science's website on September 30th 2010. To read this report, please click here
