Each school is afforded an opportunity to respond to the report before publication. School responses are also published on the department's website.

Inspection reports examine how various subjects are taught in post-primary schools. They can take place within a whole school evaluation or as a stand-alone report.

The reports do not assess the performance of individual teachers.
