Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools
DEIS is the whole school plan for Piper's Hill College. Each plan is for a three year period and is continually monitored and revised during this time.
DEIS is grounded on the following principles:
- That every child and young person deserves an equal chance to access, participate in, and benefit from education;
- Every person should have the opportunity to reach his or her full educational potential for personal, social and economic reasons, and
- Education is a critical factor in promoting social inclusion and economic development.
What does it provide for Piper's Hill College?
There is 110 million euro of funding directed to DEIS at a national level, therefore it is a huge advantage to a school community to have DEIS.
In Piper's Hill College we benefit from the following extra supports:
HSCL teacher, participation in the Schools Completion Programme, LCA, JCSP, NEPS provision, Schools books grant scheme, School Meals and PDST Supports. We also have a reduced Pupil Teacher ratio of 17.75:1 and participate in the Behaviour For Learning (BFL) programme.
