  • December 2012
    Enniskillen Lisbellaw NEWSLETTER Volume 1, Issue 1 Christmas 2012 The local area has been a place of Christian faith since the days of Saint Patrick. In the years since, many have rightly put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ and have shared that faith. Once again, this Christmas, you are connecting with that faith community even as you read this. For this Newsletter comes to us as an initiative that grew out of this year’s parish gatherings, from the consequent Parish Pastoral Council and from ministry groups new and established in our parish. All of this is in the faith-filled service of Jesus Christ and of the people he calls together to be parish and church. We have always had four targets as a parish: paying attention to God’s Word; giving energy to building community; celebrating our faith worthily; reaching out to those who are hurting. We also have beautiful Canon Peter O’Reilly churches. I invite you to feel part of the faith community project here throughout the year. Welcome to Fr. David Donnelly, appointed here by our Bishop, Liam MacDaid; it will be Fr. David’s first Christmas among us. We keep in our prayers Fr. John Skinnader who has returned to the missionary work he loves: his blog is on our parish website. In the coming months, watch out for the World Youth Day initiative that will enable seventeen of our young parishioners to go on a unique journey of faith. For now, may I, along with my colleagues and our parish pastoral council, wish you the peace that comes in the shelter and kindness we give each other and in God’s promise that extends to us even now in the promise of the heavenly home that Christmas brings.

  • Sustaining Improvement Inspection (Involving Action Short Of
    PRIMARY INSPECTION Brookeborough Primary School, Brookeborough, County Fermanagh Education and Training Inspectorate Controlled, co-educational Report of a Sustaining Improvement Inspection (Involving Action Short of Strike) in March 2017 Sustaining Improvement Inspection of Brookeborough Primary School, County Fermanagh (201-1894) Introduction In the last inspection held in September 2013, Brookeborough Primary School was evaluated overall as very good1. A sustaining improvement inspection (SII) was conducted on 8 March 2017. The purpose of the SII is to evaluate the extent to which the school is capable of demonstrating its capacity to effect improvement through self-evaluation and effective school development planning. Four of the teaching unions which make up the Northern Ireland Teachers’ Council (NITC) have declared industrial action primarily in relation to a pay dispute. This includes non-co-operation with the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI). Prior to the inspection, the school informed the ETI that all of the teachers including the principal would not be co-operating with the inspectors. The ETI has a statutory duty to monitor, inspect and report on the quality of education under Article 102 of the Education and Libraries (Northern Ireland) Order 1986. Therefore, the inspection proceeded and the following evaluations are based on the evidence as made available at the time of the inspection. Focus of the inspection Owing to the school’s participation in industrial action: • the inspection was unable to focus on evaluating the extent to which the school is capable of demonstrating its capacity to effect improvement through self-evaluation and effective school development planning; and • lines of inquiry were not selected from the development plan priorities.
