Question:

454. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education if a response will issue to an application submitted to her Department by a school (details supplied) to separate the junior and senior schools, a position brought about by the lack of Department support and engagement on a better alternative; if she will engage directly with the schools to bring about the best outcome for the school community; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Education

I can confirm that my Department is in receipt of an application for change of status from the school authority referred to by the Deputy. This application is under assessment and once completed, the school authority will be informed of the decision directly.
