The extension project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an advanced stage of architectural planning. It has a band 2 rating. My Department's technical staff are currently examining the stage 4 documentation, detailed design. The school authorities will be kept advised of developments.
My officials are nearing completion of a review of all projects which did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual programme from 2005. All projects are being assessed against the published prioritisation criteria agreed earlier this year with the education partners. Each project will be assigned a band rating, and the progress of all projects will be considered in the context of the programme from 2005.
