Amharc ar fhreagraThe school to which the Deputy refers was approved to enter the department’s pipeline for a project under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The project will provide five mainstream classrooms, one SET room and a two classroom Special Education Needs (SEN) base.
The project was devolved to the school authority for delivery.
I can confirm that this project is currently at Stage 1 architectural design and my department has received a Stage 1 report. The project remains under careful review from a technical and cost perspective as we are committed to a thorough evaluation to ensure compliance with costs, procedural standards, and the project scope. It is not possible to estimate the duration of this review however my Department will endeavour to review as early as possible.
Once the Stage 1 report review is concluded my department will be in touch with the school authority on how best to progress this important project.
