WSE Whole School EvaluationDuring a whole school evaluation, the inspection team from the Department of Education and Skills examines all the work of the school. They take particular account of the school’s own review and development work. The inspectors are also concerned to acknowledge and affirm good practice and achievement. During school and classroom visits the inspectors observe teaching and learning, interact with pupils, engage in discussion with teachers, and examine planning documents. Information is gathered from a range of sources within a school to ensure that judgements made by the inspectors are valid, reliable, and consistent. The inspectors meet boards of management and officers of the parents’ association or parents’ council, where such a body has been established in line with the Education Act (1998). Scoil Chrónáín Senior National School underwent a whole school evaluation in September 2012 and the results of the evaluation may be downloaded below. |
