Primary schools in Malahide, which is best?

david4791

We were considering sending our child to one of the two primary schools in Malahide, any idea on where one could source data on which school has the best teachers and results?

Irish primary schools do not have exams, so there is no data(thankfully ) to be had on results. The only tests used in schools are the standardised tests in literacy and maths and these are not used by any other party but the school itself.If you search on education.ie you may find the reports on a whole school inspections (WSE) done on the schools in question.

Personally, I would make an appt to visit each school, you will get a good feel for the place. It's hard to say what teachers are "best" as a lot will depend on what you consider important.

You can look up the Whole School Evaluations on the Department of Education that are reports on the teaching in the schools!

Not every school has had a WSE,incidental inspections seem to have been all the go in the last two years and those reports do not go on the net.
