I can confirm that the Department is in receipt of an application, under the Additional School Accommodation scheme, for the school referred to by the Deputy. The purpose of the Additional School Accommodation scheme is to ensure that essential mainstream and special education classroom accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year and where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation or by other schools in the area.
My Department are in discussions with the school authorities regarding their application, with the view of progressing the application to the next stage.
