School Inspection
A focused inspection by the Department of Education (Northern Ireland) in February 2003 found that the "children are pleasant, friendly and courteous" and "the teachers have created an attractive learning environment". It was also reported that "the school broadens the children’s experiences through after-school activities, day and residential visits, participation in sporting competitions and by visitors who come to the school". However, it was also found that "the development of the children’s listening and talking skills throughout the school is uneven .... and "the younger children would benefit from a more structured approach to their language development". The school has also identified ICT as a priority area in its development especially for the children, but also for their parents and the local community.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or inspection:
“I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.”
—Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
“Thus the orb he roamed
With narrow search, and with inspection deep
Considered every creature, which of all
Most opportune might serve his wiles, and found
The serpent subtlest beast of all the field.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
