View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department is reviewing the accommodation needs of the area in question in order to cater for an agreed Long Term Projected Enrolment (LTPE) of 1300 pupils.
On completion of the assessment process a decision will be conveyed to the school authority in writing. I can also confirm that additional interim accommodation will be provided to the school, in the short-term, to cater for increased enrolment pending delivery of the permanent school building.
