[EduCativ]

The school is on Whitefriar Street, Dublin 8. This is very close to Aungier Street, Dame Street, and Stephen’s Green. The school is affiliated with the Carmelite Community Centre and Whitefriar Street Church. It is a thirteen-teacher school with 138 pupils. We are a mixed school with both boys and girls. Our classes are from Junior Infants (4/5 years old) up to 6th Class (12/13 years old).
Our school has its context. St. Enda’s is a DEIS Band 1 school situated in Dublin’s south inner city. It is a co-educational, vertical primary school under the patronage of the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and the trusteeship of the Order of Carmelites. There are 13 teachers and 134 pupils in the school. We have several programs operating in the school including DEIS, Reading Recovery™, HSCL, SICCDA after-school programs, parent’s courses, Fighting Words, WOW, TAP, College Awareness initiatives, and Lift-Off To Literacy™. Our attendance levels are excellent. Our pupils’ behavior is excellent. In later years we have placed a very high emphasis on literacy and language in our school. We believe that it is imperative that every child is a reader/writer and can express themselves confidently and competently. To that end, we have prioritized literacy and oral language in our school improvement plan.
We undertook a school self-evaluation of teaching and learning during the year. We evaluated Literacy and Oral Language. We chose this because we felt that our pupils could improve their learning outcomes in these areas. This report summarises the strengths that were identified and the areas that have been prioritized for improvement.
