Scoil Ursula recently underwent a Whole School Evaluation (WSE) in November 2014. A team of inspectors from the Department of Education & Skills (DES) carried out an evaluation of the work of the school under four headings:
• the quality of school management
• the quality of school planning and school self-evaluation
• the quality of teaching, learning and pupil achievement
• the quality of support for pupils
Part of the WSE procedures involved pupils and parents of selected classes completing questionnaires about their experiences of the school. We are very grateful to all those pupils & parents for their co-operation and support of the school in this process. The compiled data from the completed surveys can be viewed or downloaded below.
