Approval for funding has been given to the school to which the Deputy refers for a two phase project under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2019.
The Phase 1 accommodation consists of 2 general Classrooms, 3 WCs, 1 WC Assisted User and 1 Science Lab with prep area, a DCG room and ancillary. A Stage 2b report and a request to go to Tender was recently submitted to my Department and is currently being assessed by officials in my Department.
The Phase 2 accommodation consists of 4 general classrooms and 1 Construction room. My Department recently agreed that a two classroom SEN base could be included in this phase. A brief is currently being formulated on this project which should issue to the school shortly.
Department officials have been in regular contact with the principal in relation to this matter.
