The report will be officially published tomorrow. It reveals:
* Taxpayers' money given to the school in the form of grants since it opened in 2001 is unaccounted for;
* The quality of teaching of English, Irish and maths is "poor" or "very poor", with teacher morale "very poor";
* Sanitary facilities are "inadequate;
* The school is in breach of several pieces of legislation;
* The school refuses to implement the music curriculum.
Separate correspondence, also seen by the Irish Independent, reveals that the school failed to pay around €37,000 it owed to the department.
The draft inspection report says that no financial accounts are available since the school opened and there is little physical evidence of where state grants have been spent.
The report says there are no policies on attendance; child protection; social personal and health education and on the duties of special needs assistants. The Relationships and Sexuality Education programme has not been implemented. There are no plans for assessment; for English as an additional language; for visual arts, physical education; drama and music.
THE amount of time spent on prayers and religion means there is less time available for the rest of the curriculum.
