View answerI can confirm to the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of an application from the school in question for capital funding under the Additional Schools Accommodation Scheme (ASA). This application is currently being processed by my officials and is in the final stages of the assessment process. The school authorities will be contacted with a decision when the assessment process has been completed.
In the interim, the school have recently been approved modular accommodation for September 2022 in order to meet the immediate demand for school places in the area. This comprises of the following:
- 3 x Specialist rooms
- 1 x Large Specialist room
- 2 x SEN Classrooms
- 12 x MCRs
- Toilets
