The Department of Education and Skills mandates that every school must participate in the practice of self-reflection through a School Self-Evaluation (SSE) process. It is an internal, collaborative, and inclusive process that is used to continuously improve our school.
The SSE process is supported by a quality framework, Looking at Our School (LAOS) 2022, which provides a set of criteria or descriptors of quality in schools. LAOS is, in essence, a set of standards against which we can consider how well we are performing.
Information is gathered from students, staff, parents/guardians about the quality of teacher and learning in Sutton Park School.
We ask ourselves the following questions:
How well are we doing? How do we know? What are our strengths? How can we build on our strengths? What are our areas for improvement? How can we improve?
The 6-step process guides schools throughout the School Self- Evaluation process. The information collected is analysed and actions plans are created based on the evidence gathered.
