The school in question is already in receipt of significant backup services.
In addition to the school principal, the school has the following staffing; five class teachers, two remedial teachers, one concessionary teacher (in recognition of the school's location in a disadvantaged area), and one Home/School Liaison teacher shared with another school.
Both of the remedial teacher posts and the concessionary teacher post are ex-quota and, as such, constitute additional teaching resources over and above that required by the pupil/teacher ratio.
As a result of the Deputy's inquiry, I am asking my Department's Inspectorate to examine the manner in which resources are currently deployed within the school to ensure that pupils attending the school derive optimum benefit from these resources.
