The refurbishment-extension project to which the Deputy refers has progressed beyond stage 2 of architectural planning and is currently at stage 3, the developed sketch scheme.

My officials are nearing completion of a review of all projects which did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme, with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual programme from 2005. All projects are being assessed against the published prioritisation criteria, agreed earlier this year with the education partners. Each project will be assigned a band rating and the progress of all projects will be considered in the context of the programme, from 2005.

Following conclusion of the current estimates and budgetary process I intend to publish the 2005 building programme which will operate in a multi-annual framework.
