In October 2007 the Department of Education carried out a Standard Inspection of the following areas in the school:  Leadership and Management at all levels across the school, and, in addition, on the provision for English, modern languages and physical education. The school provision for pastoral care and the arrangements for child protection were also inspected as was the school's general approach to promoting health and well-being. As part of the inspection of pastoral care, inspectors observed classes in a range of other subjects.

A brief summary of the main findings of the team include the following
“The strengths of the school are:

• the distinctive ethos which permeates all aspects of the life of the school.
• the quality of the pastoral care provided for the pupils.
• the quality of teaching observed in almost all lessons.
• the standards achieved by the pupils in public examinations.
• the use made of qualitative and quantitative data in the monitoring and evaluation of provision at whole- school level; and
• the quality of strategic leadership, particularly the direction given by the Principal and the senior leadership team.

The quality of education provided in this school is very good. The educational and pastoral needs of the learners are being well met. The parents and local community can have confidence in the school’s capacity for sustained self- improvement.   No follow- up inspection is required.”

The Inspection Report has been sent to each family within the school and is available on the DE website.
