I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has applied to the Department for major capital funding. The project has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and has been assigned a band 2 rating. Progress on the project will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation programme.
