School Self-Evaluation
School self-evaluation empowers a school community to identify and affirm good practice, and to identify and take actions on areas that merit improvement. School self-evaluation involves reflective enquiry leading to action planning for improvement that is informed by evidence gathered within the school. Scoil Naomh Bríd is committed to engaging with School Self-Evaluation and informing the school community of the improvements we are making within the school on a yearly basis. As a school we look at what we are doing well and then focus on areas to further improve our practice.
Scoil Naomh Bríd Focus for School Self-Evaluation 2018-2021
We have chosen Oral Irish as our focus for School Self-Evaluation. We will work to promote and to improve Gaeilge over the next three years.

School Improvement Plan
School Improvement Plans are formulated through engaging with the School Self-Evaluation process. Our School Improvement Plan contains development goals in three areas: Organisational, Curricular and Resources.
Organisational: Policy updates & overall planning
Curricular: Upskilling staff, research into current evidence-based practice, curricular planning & activities
Resources: Management/procurement of school resources and management of our school building.
