Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Education at Finn Valley College
Finn Valley College is a dynamic and inclusive DEIS school in the heart of Donegal, dedicated to empowering every student through quality education, strong community values, and a supportive learning environment where everyone can thrive.
DEIS was launched in May 2005 as the Department of Education and Skills policy instrument to address the educational needs of young people.
The DEIS Plan 2017, which replaced the 2005 Plan, sets out the Department’s vision for education to more fully become a proven pathway to better opportunities and to give tailored support to schools. The Plan sets out goals to be achieved in terms of improved outcomes for students. The aim is to narrow the gaps and develop better pathways for all.
Our DEIS Plan 2021 is our three-year School Improvement Plan. This plan will be monitored each year and evaluated at the end of the three years.
