Every School a Good School (ESaGS)
The Department is committed to ensuring that every school is a good school and has identified raising standards and tackling underachievement as key priorities in enabling every young person to fulfil their potential at each stage of their development.
Every School a Good School – a policy for school improvement
Published in 2009 this policy aims to support schools and teachers in their work to raise standards and overcome barriers to learning some pupils may face. This policy includes a requirement to provide focused support for schools which, as a result of inspection by the Education and Training Inspectorate, are found to be offering less than satisfactory provision for their pupils. This support is provided through the 'Formal Intervention Process'.
