A Policy for School Improvement - Formal Intervention Process

ESaGS – A Policy for School Improvement includes a requirement to provide focused support for schools which, as a result of inspection by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI), are found to be offering less than satisfactory provision for their pupils.  This support is provided through the Formal Intervention Process.

Through the Process, the school receives tailored support from the relevant Education & Library Board, supported where appropriate by the relevant sectoral body and commits to working to deliver an agreed action plan, quality-assured by ETI, designed to address the areas for improvement identified through inspection.

The focus throughout this process is on ensuring that pupils receive the highest possible quality of teaching and learning so that they can achieve to their full potential.
