The facts

What DEIS means here

DEIS Urban Band 2. This is extra staffing, a Home School Community Liaison coordinator and School Completion Programme access. Band 2 does not carry the reduced class sizes that Band 1 does.

Worth knowing: several things people associate with DEIS are now available in every school. Schoolbooks are free at primary and post-primary regardless of DEIS status, and since 2025 all primary schools are eligible for the hot school meals programme. What remains specific to DEIS is the staffing — reduced class sizes in Urban Band 1, the Home School Community Liaison coordinator, School Completion Programme access and enhanced capitation.

Band as published in the Department's DEIS list, last revised 2022-10-12.
