ETI Inspection Report
The Education and Training Inspectorate are tasked by the Department of Education to ensure
high standards and continuous improvement in our schools. An inspection is a very significant
event in the life of any school.
This school was inspected during a week in November 2011.
The official report was published at the end of January 2012.
The Governors and the Principal were delighted by the outcome of the report.
The school achieved the highest possible outcome – “outstanding!”
This descriptor is the highest that can be awarded and it was assigned to the school in all the
areas inspected. Officers of the South Eastern Education and Library Board described it as the
best inspection report they had ever read.
Governors, teaching and non-teaching staff, and the children and parents, were encouraged to
celebrate this success and the affirmation of the ethos and work of the school.
The report can be accessed on the Department of Education website: http://www.deni.gov.uk/

ETI 2012
Congratulations to our staff! Teaching and non-teaching staff work very hard and they
are all so committed to providing the best care and education for the children. We are
delighted that their skills and talents and their professional expertise have been affirmed
and recognised. We also wish to thank and congratulate parents. It is because of parents’
support of school policies and procedures and close co-operation with teachers in their
class practice that we have such a settled, well balanced and successful school. The
children thrive in the shared care that both home and school can give.

Governors had a busy time during the autumn term in updating policies and ensuring that the
school was prepared to answer inquiries by ETI.
Governors
Governors would like to record their gratitude to the teaching and non-teaching staff, who
worked diligently to present the school’s best practice.
Governors wish to thank all parents who responded to the Development Plan Consultation.
Your views and ideas were helpful.
Governors approved the adoption of several staff policies and a number of curriculum policies.
In January a fire safety audit found our systems and procedures to be very sound.
Congratulations to the Principal and to Mr Doole our building Supervisor for his attention to
detail.
In the same month Internal Audit SEELB approved the school’s processes for claiming budget.
Congratulations to the Principal who ensures sound systems of administration
and to Mrs Martin our school secretary, who maintains immaculate records.
Governors were dismayed by the cuts in education finance which were announced in
November. The cuts seriously affected our future planning and Governors were forced to delay
the appointment of an additional full- time teacher for the 2012/13 year. With skilful budgeting a
plan was accepted by SEELB to provide a part-time teacher for the 2012/13 year.
Tight financial management continues to be a top priority for the Finance Committee.
Extended Schools Provision
Our new “Breakfast Club” began in September and ran successfully during the school year.
Many thanks to Mrs Sloan, Miss Keery and Mrs Welshman who provide a warm welcome to
children each morning.
School Website
The Governors wish to congratulate Mr Lewis on his management of the school website which
provides lively and informative information on the school and its activities. It may be accessed
at: www.dunmurryprimary.ik.org
Staff
A fond farewell was extended to Mrs Sylvia Richardson who retired at the end of June, having
served the school for thirty years. She was an outstanding teacher and her work as Mathematics
co-ordinator was a significant factor in our excellent inspection report.
Everyone will miss her cheerful personality, her caring and friendly nature and the attention to
detail that she gave to every aspect of her work. She had an excellent relationship with the
pupils and staff and we wish her a very happy retirement.
Congratulations to Mrs Elliott, who had a baby boy during the year and thanks to Miss Orr who
looked after P1 during her maternity leave.
Mr Lewis taught a P6/P7 class and was supported by the Principal on Wednesday mornings.
The caretaker, cleaning staff and classroom assistants are to be congratulated on the support
they gave the children and staff during a very busy year.

Professional and Curriculum Development
A comprehensive programme of in-service training is provided to all teaching staff during the
year.
Five Curriculum days in August, five Exceptional Closure Days and a planned Wednesday

pupils.

teaching staff in relation to provision for Newcomer families. Staff were trained in the
completion of assessment profiles.
5
The ASCET team delivered training to staff about Sensory Development of young children and
on issues connected to Speech and Language Development.
Mrs Karney continued to monitor Special Educational Needs processes and procedures with
staff. She introduced a new format for Individual Education Plans and this was successfully
adopted by the teaching staff. She conducted training to support the identification,
understanding and support of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and those with Social,
Emotional and Behaviour Difficulties and new policies were developed with staff.
Mrs Karney gave training to classroom assistants regarding provision in the classroom for
children with Dyslexia.
The Special Needs allocation provided resources for assessment and teaching materials and
substitute cover for teaching staff to make educational assessments and plans.

in bullying situations.

Record of Achievement
At a special assembly, P7 were presented with their “Record of Achievement” by
Mr Mark Batchelor, to celebrate not only their academic work but also their achievements as
regards sport, music, drama, art, membership of clubs and organisations, and their contribution
to the life of the school.
The Curriculum
All classes are involved in the implementation of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.
At the Foundation stage, teaching and learning enriches children’s experience and their
development of early literacy and mathematic skills. It provides for their creative and personal
development, encourages learning through social interaction and play and promotes
independent learning and problem solving.
In Key Stage One (P3 and P4) and in Key Stage Two (P5, 6 and 7), children continue to develop
their thinking skills and personal capabilities and they develop important cross-curricular skills in
Communication, Using Mathematics and Using ICT. Children are engaged with their teachers
10
and each other in understanding and assessing their learning and they are encouraged to
develop good life skills, attitudes and dispositions.
The main Areas of Learning are: The Arts (Music, Drama, Art), Language and Literacy,
Mathematics and Numeracy, Personal Development and Mutual Understanding (PDMU),
Physical Development, The World Around Us (History, Geography, Science) and Religious
Education. Children’s progress in these subjects is continuously assessed and parents receive an
annual report.
Our staff welcomes the breadth of education these subjects imply and they are dedicated to
providing up-to-date and interesting learning experiences.
During this year the primary school had six classes, including a composite P6/P7 class.
End of Key Stage Assessment 2011/12
When children are at the end of year 4 and year 7 in Northern Ireland, teachers are required to
make formal assessments of their work in English and Mathematics.
Children at primary school are usually working between Levels 1 to 5. The majority of children
at the end of Key Stage 1 (year 4) will be working at Level 2. Most children at the end of Key
Stage 2 (year 7) will be at Level 4.
The government requires schools to publish the results relating to average and above average
performance.
We are pleased to record our results for the school year ending June 2012.
