1028. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Education if there are plans to build an extension for a school (details supplied) to increase capacity; the current student capacity at the school; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40516/21]
View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to has been approved for a project under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2021. This project was approved in April 2021 and has been devolved for delivery to the school authority.
The project will provide for the following accommodation at the school: 1 x General classroom, 1 x Music room, 1 x Textiles room, 1 x Art room, 1 x Graphics room, 1 x Multimedia room, 1 x Science lab, 1 x Science prep area, 2 x Technology rooms with a shared prep area and a 3 Classroom SEN base.
I can also advise the Deputy that temporary accommodation has also been approved as part of this project to cater for the school’s needs in September 2021.
