I can confirm to the Deputy that the school in question recently submitted an application for additional accommodation. The application will be considered and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as the assessment process has been completed.

In the meantime, my Department has liaised directly with the school in the context of any immediate works required and the school has been advised to submit an application under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme.  A response from the school is awaited.
