School self-evaluation (SSE) is a collaborative, reflective process of internal school review. It provides teachers with a means of systematically looking at how they teach and how pupils learn and helps schools and teachers to improve outcomes for learners.
To support schools as they engage in SSE, the Department has published the following guidelines:
School Self-Evaluation Guidelines 2016-2020 Primary
These revised Guidelines have been prepared by the Inspectorate to provide practical support to schools in continuing school self-evaluation. They reflect feedback from schools and the education partners on the original Guidelines and more broadly on their experience of the school self-evaluation process to date.
