I can confirm that my Department has received applications for resource teaching support for three pupils attending the school referred to by the Deputy. The National Educational Psychological Service has recommended 3.5 hours part-time resource teaching support per week for one pupil. The applications for the other two pupils have been examined by NEPS and, based on the documentation provided, it was considered that these pupils needs did not warrant resource teaching support.
My Department notified the school authorities of the outcome of their applications on 23 September 2004 and 8 November 2004, respectively.
