Personally I think it is best used in the early years and primary school. If we do not invest in children when they are young they will not be able to follow what we are trying to teach them when they get a bit older. The money spent on DEIS is also very well spent but we are carrying out a review at the moment to make sure that it is. Some schools that did not qualify for DEIS designation may need to become DEIS schools now because their demographics have changed.
