The North’s chief inspector says the quality of education is good or better in almost two-thirds of post-primary providers.
In her latest report, Noelle Buick says this is being achieved in an “increasingly demanding context”.
Post-primary schools are working with a greater number of pupils who experience a more complex range of social, behavioural, emotional, cognitive and linguistic barriers. At the same time, the political, economic and social expectations of what education and, in particular, schools should be able to do in this context, are growing.
Inspectors visited 57 of 210 secondary schools between July 2012 and June 2014. Ms Buick says 63 per cent of secondary schools inspected are providing good, very good or outstanding education.
