I am pleased to inform the Deputy that, in relation to the Junior National School referred to, my Department has recently approved this project to go to Construction Stage for a one-classroom SEN base, two mainstream classroom with ensuite toilets, and WC for assisted users under the Additional Accommodation Scheme. The project is expected to commence on-site shortly.
In relation to the National School referred to, my Department granted approval under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2020 to build a two-classroom SEN base and one WC for Assisted Users. The Department received an Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) application from the school in October 2020 relating to alteration works to main entrance doors and fire exit doors which is currently being assessed in terms of the feasibility of incorporating these works into this project. The Additional Accommodation project is currently at the Design Stage and a Stage 1/2a Report is required to be submitted at this time.
Both projects have been devolved for delivery to the School Authority to advance in that context.
