School self-evaluation (SSE) is a collaborative, inclusive, and reflective process of internal school review. An evidence-based approach, it involves gathering information from a range of sources, and then making judgements. All of this with a view to bring about improvements in students’ learning.
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.
