One of the country's top fee-paying secondary schools is facing closure unless it gets its act in order, a new report reveals. The Department of Education and Science is unusually critical of management-staff relations at the Catholic University School (CUS) in Dublin's Leeson Street which charges €3,700 a year.
Inspectors found a "negative atmosphere in the school".
This, the report says, is adversely impacting on effective school organisation and shared ownership of the school.
"Overall, the lack of communication and trust in the school has led to tension and a less-than-favourable working environment. Morale among all staff is reportedly extremely low and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency by school management," says the Whole School Evaluation (WSE) report from the Department.
