As the Deputy may be aware, my Department provided capital funding in 2014 to the school referred to for ancillary works to facilitate an amalgamation at that time.
The school subsequently submitted an application to my Department for major capital works. However, a project for this school was not included on my Department's 6 year Construction Programme (2016-2021) which is focused on providing essential school accommodation to meet demographic demand and this will be the main focus for capital investment in the coming years. It is therefore not possible to provide an indicative timeframe for the progression of a major project for the school in question at this time.
