Science Subject Inspection
On 1st October 2019 a Science Subject Inspection was carried out. The report has been published and is available below. The Board of Management welcomes the very positive findings of this inspection report. It is encouraging to see our vision and ethos evident in classroom practice, particularly the presence of the student voice, excellent relationships and skilful teaching that challenges all learners. Staff collaboration around whole-school approaches to group work, written work, assessment, differentiation and the use of digital technology are contributing to student learning and wellbeing; we are pleased to see this recognised in the report. The observation that students were highly involved in their learning, reflective and contributing confidently in a variety of formats is very encouraging in our ongoing efforts to realise the vision, aims and values of our developing school.
Enrolment for 2020/2021 has closed.
Enrolment for 2020/2021 closed on October 25th. As we are oversubscribed, a lottery was conducted at our Board of Management meeting on November 6th. We will be in touch with students on a rolling basis until all available places have been offered and accepted. We anticipate that this process will be completed by mid December. At that point we will notify those who have not been offered a place, of their wait list number. We appreciate your patience during this period.
