The school to which the Deputy refers was approved for a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme to provide five special education classes including hard and soft play areas and a sensory garden. The project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery.
The school authority appointed a design team and my Department has received the Stage 2a (detailed design) architectural report. This report has been reviewed by my Department's Professional and Technical officials and their advice on how best to progress the project has been provided to school authority. It is now a matter for the school authority and its design team to review this advice and progress this important project forward.
