At St Michael’s Community College, we view inspection as an important opportunity for reflection, learning and school improvement.
Inspection processes help us to recognise effective practice, celebrate strengths within our school community and identify areas where we can continue to grow and improve. Recommendations arising from inspections inform ongoing school self-evaluation, planning and development work across the school.
We are committed to listening carefully to feedback and to continually improving the educational experiences, supports and opportunities available to our students.We welcome inspection as an important part of supporting high-quality teaching, learning, wellbeing and school improvement.
The Department of Education Inspectorate places strong importance on listening to the voices and experiences of children and young people during inspections. Students are encouraged to share their views and experiences in a respectful and supportive manner, helping inspectors to gain a fuller understanding of school life and student wellbeing.
The information and resources below are designed to help students and parents/guardians better understand the inspection process and what to expect during a school inspection.
