Amharc ar fhreagraThe schools to which the Deputy refers were granted approval for a joint project to construct a 4 Classroom SEN Base under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2021 and notification of this approval was issued to the school authorities in June 2021. Confirmation of the appointment of the project's Design Team was returned to the Department in October 2021.
Currently the project is at the beginning of the Design Process and surveys are taking place, the results of which will determine how the school and its Design Team progress the project, through the submission of a Stage 1 Design Report to the Department for review.
It is too early in the process to estimate a timeframe for completion of this project.
