The school to which the Deputy refers was granted initial approval for the reconfiguration of accommodation for the provision of two special education needs classrooms under my Department's SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme.
This programme which draws on the Department's procurement frameworks supports accelerated delivery of the accommodation and maximises assistance to the school for the delivery of the required accommodation. A Project Management company is appointed under the Department’s framework, to design and tender the project. This consultant will lead the project through the various architectural stages of design, statutory approvals and construction.
The school have raised some queries with my Department regarding accommodation being provided under the reconfiguration project and officials are considering the correspondence received.
I can assure the Deputy that my officials will liaise directly with the school authority regarding the issues raised.
