I can confirm to the Deputy, that my Department is in receipt of an application for the Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA), from the school in question.
The purpose of the ASA scheme is to ensure that essential mainstream classroom and Special Education Needs (SEN) accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year, where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation.
The school authorities have been notified of the progress on this assessment which is nearing completion following which a final decision will issue directly to the school.
