School self-evaluation is an ongoing reflective practice that is carried out within our school to continually improve teaching and learning.
It involves all members of the school community - the Board of Management, Principal, Deputy Principal, teachers, students and parents.
School self-evaluation is an evidence-based practice that gathers data in the form of surveys, from all involved parties. As required by all schools we follow the guidelines ‘School self-evaluation guidelines 2016 - 2020’ and ‘School self-evaluation: Next steps September 2022 - June 2026’.
There are six steps to the process:
- Gathering information from a range of sources
- Analysing practices
- Making judgements about practices and about how well students are doing
- Compiling an action plan to improve practices where necessary
- Implementing the new practices
- Monitoring and reviewing the changes made
The process is designed to help all members of the school community to adapt to the continually evolving social demands of education.
