The school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding under the Additional Accommodation Scheme to facilitate construction of three classrooms, one resource room, two standard WC and one WC for assisted users.

A Stage 1 submission was received in my Department which indicated that there are site restrictions applicable to the project, which had cost implications for its delivery. A site visit was carried out by officials from the Department's Professional & Technical Team in October 2020 with a view to progressing this project. A revised scope of works has been co-ordinated with the school to build a two-storey extension for four classrooms, four resource rooms, one meeting room, toilets and social space, along with the refurbishment of an existing room to a new science lab with prep area.

My Department is currently awaiting a revised Stage 1 report to include an updated cost plan for this new scope of works.
