There is a commitment under DEIS for ongoing evaluation of the programme to ensure successful implementation with the best possible approaches to measuring progress and outcomes at both local and national level. The focus of the present report is solely on reporting pupil achievement outcomes in urban primary schools participating in the School Support Programme under DEIS. The School to which the Deputy refers was not selected to participate in DEIS and therefore, is not being considered in the ongoing evaluation of DEIS. The Evaluation report is currently being finalised and will be published in the coming weeks.
