STEM:
Implementing our whole-school Mathematics Plan and developing science, technology and engineering through practical learning, beginning with design thinking.
During 2026–27, Scoil Mhuire agus Bharra is focusing on three school improvement priorities:
Implementing our whole-school Mathematics Plan and developing science, technology and engineering through practical learning, beginning with design thinking.
Establishing pupil councils on both campuses and giving pupils regular opportunities to share ideas, contribute to decisions and hear how their suggestions are being acted on.
Promoting safe, responsible use of technology, strengthening online-safety education.
By June 2026, Scoil Mhuire agus Bharra had achieved all goals set out in its School Improvement Plan. The plan focused on three whole-school priorities:
Assistant Principals worked in clearly defined pairs across Wellbeing, Languages, STEM, Arts and School Self-Evaluation. Subject audits, action plans and regular leadership meetings supported consistent progress.
The school strengthened attendance monitoring, early intervention and communication with families. The planned improvement target was achieved ahead of its June 2027 deadline.
A consistent whole-school approach to SEN coordination, planning and communication was established. Records and permissions were moved to Aladdin, new planning formats and provision plans were implemented, and staff professional development and policy review were completed.
Progress was monitored through regular meetings, data review and evidence-based evaluation. The completed plan provides a strong foundation for the school’s next cycle of self-evaluation and improvement.
