Due to the geographic location of the school to which the Deputy refers, it is not possible for the school to be clustered with other schools to avail of the services of a HSCL Coordinator. Therefore, the school will receive financial support in accordance with its size and level of disadvantage, as an alternative to HSCL coordinator support under HSCL for the 2011/12 school year.

The amount of financial support to be allocated to the school is under consideration and the school will be notified shortly.
