The school's most recent inspection was a Safeguarding inspection which was held in October 2017. Three members of the Education Training Inspectorate (ETI) visited the school and looked at all the policies and procedures relating to Safeguarding and Child Protection. They spoke with the Principal and Designated Child Protection Teacher and to the Year 6 pupils, as well as with members of our Board of Governors.
Whilst they were unable to see the outworking of these policies within the school (due to industrial action short of strike action), they were able to comment on what they had looked at.
In summary, they found that the school’s paperwork presented was meticulous, and that all relevant policies were up to date. They noted that the school had appropriately identified areas in which it wished to develop further.
ETI felt the pupils were respectful and very happy at school, noting that the pupils spoke very highly of the school and its teachers, and that they knew who to go to if they had a problem.
They felt the representatives of the school’s Board of Governors were highly skilled in their role and in their knowledge of school improvement.
In conclusion, ETI felt our school was a very warm and welcoming place.
You are invited to read this paper (link below) which articulates the future vision of Catholic Education, its ethos, and values.
The Catholic school sector is an exemplar of service delivery which continues to address the key educational challenges of our time and improve outcomes for children and young people. As a Catholic School, we believe that we have much to contribute to the creation of a high-achieving, inclusive education system in Northern Ireland that cherishes diversity.
St Oliver Plunkett Primary School celebrated its 40th Anniversary on June 4th 2019. Current Parents, pupils staff and past parents, pupils and staff attended a Mass in Beragh, chapel followed by refreshments and concert in the school. There was a chance for past pupils and staff to take a walk down memory lane with photo displays, old scrapbooks, and a role call of pupils from 1979 to the present. It was a fantastic evening of nostalgia and celebrations.
On the 5th June all the pupils celebrated with bouncy castle, fun dinner, cake and 70s and 80s disco. Everyone dressed up in styles from the 70s and 80s and had a fun filled day!!
