The school referred to by the Deputy was approved a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme for the provision of a 2 class SEN base and 4 mainstream classrooms.
My Department received a revised Stage 1/2A report and this report was reviewed, with additional information requested by Department Officials in order to complete this review. The additional information requested was subsequently received in Q3, 2023. Upon completion of review of this information, the school authority will be advised on the next steps to progress their project.
Whilst this project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery, the Department is engaged directly with the school to provide whatever practical assistance and advice is necessary to implement this important project for the wider school community.
