Groggan Primary School

Overview

This monitoring inspection was conducted during industrial action involving 'action short of strike', resulting in non-cooperation from the teaching staff. Consequently, the inspection was unable to evaluate the quality of education, learning, or teaching, nor could it assess the impact of development planning on improvement.

Strengths

• The report identifies no significant areas for improvement.

Areas to improve

• The inspection was unable to focus on evaluating action to promote improvement and its impact on learning and teaching.
• Lines of inquiry were not selected from the development plan priorities.
• The school did not demonstrate if and how actions taken have led to improvement for learners.

Safeguarding

The school provided evidence that safeguarding arrangements 'reflect broadly the guidance from the Department of Education', and children reported feeling safe and knowing who to talk to, although the ETI was 'unable to evaluate fully the outworking of the arrangements' due to the industrial action.
