As the Deputy is aware, and as I previously advised on this matter, all schools at both Primary and Post Primary are being assessed using the new identification model. The current identification model needs to be as accurate as possible and further analysis is also required to examine other variables known to be strong predictors of educational disadvantage in the context of resource allocation. Therefore, it is not intended to change the DEIS status of this school, or of any other schools, until this work is completed. Direct correspondence has also issued to the school on this matter.
