View answerThe project referred to by the Deputy is a priority for my Department and it is our intention to progress the accommodation brief for this school as quickly as possible.
In the interim, my Department has been working with the school patron to ensure that there is sufficient accommodation in place to meet the interim needs of the school, pending the delivery of the main project.
Key priorities for my Department's work programme include continuing strong delivery to support the operation of the school system with particular regard to planning ahead for the 2023/24 school year and beyond and also with particular regard to supporting special needs provision.
