Concerns raised over deficiencies at city Gaelscoil

CONCERNS have been raised by school inspectors about teaching and management at a Gaelscoil operating from a business park.

The whole school evaluation (WSE) report by Department of Education inspectors who visited Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers in Cork last November shows serious deficiencies in leadership and also found that no child protection policy was in place.

The 94-pupil school was set up in 1987 and was previously located in a GAA grounds and in rooms rented from a local secondary school, but is currently located in a business park on the Mallow Road on the city’s northern outskirts.
