Following an allocation of funding to the school referred to by the Deputy, under the Small Schools Scheme 2006 to undertake an extension/refurbishment of the existing school building, the school authorities subsequently requested my Department to consider the provision of a new school building on the existing school site. An assessment of the long term projected enrolment, on which the schools accommodation needs are based is required. This assessment will take into account factors such as current and projected enrolment, and the likely impact of proposed housing developments. Once this assessment is complete, a decision will be taken on how best to provide for the schools accommodation needs. The project will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
