Written answers
Under the provisions of the Education Act, 1998, the Board of Management is the body charged with the direct governance of a school and has responsibility for ensuring the health and safety of its staff and pupils.
The Departments Inspectorate conducted a Whole School Evaluation (MLL) in the school referenced in the first quarter of 2023. A report was subsequently published during the second quarter of the year. Whole-School Evaluation – Management, Leadership and Learning reports on the quality of teaching and learning and on the quality of management and leadership in a school. It affirms good practice and makes recommendations, where appropriate, to aid the further development of educational provision in the school.
A follow-through inspection will be conducted in due course. This will evaluate the progress that school leadership, in collaboration with the school community, has made on implementing some or all of the main recommendations made in the Whole School Evaluation. This will be facilitated through a consultative, co-professional engagement between the inspector and relevant members of the school community.
