I can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to has been approved for a project under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2015. This project will provide for two mainstream classrooms with en-suite, and one WC for assisted users. My Department has also agreed to incorporate a summer works project for an upgrade to the waste water treatment system and the school playground.
The Deputy will be aware that my Department had previously advised that this school was approved to go to Tender. Following this decision, the school confirmed that there were numerous conditions of planning that had not been costed. The school were requested to submit a Stage 2b report with a revised cost plan for assessment. My Department is currently awaiting this documentation which the school has advised will be submitted in the coming weeks.
