Mr. Hubert Loftus:

We can go back on the individual one, but I suppose it is to make the general point that there are a lot of projects happening. There are a lot of projects out at construction and a large cohort of projects to progress to construction that will get pushed out there in due course. In my job as head of the planning and building unit, I have to look at the national remit, where the priorities are nationally and where the particular pressure points are. SEN is a particular pressure point to manage. I appreciate that the Deputy has to look at her own particular area. I suppose we have a wider area to look at. We have to look at the overall needs and see. When we are looking at needs and managing those, they have to be considered in the context of how existing space can be maximised and utilised.

I would make another general point as well. When schools are looking at their enrolment policies, to what extent are they prioritising the local need in terms of both SEN and mainstream and to what extent are some of their accommodation pressures coming from the fact that there may be pupils coming from a wider hinterland who do not necessarily need to come from that hinterland? Those are the sort of issues that need to be considered as managed when assessing what are the priorities to be progressed forward as part of the school building roll-out.
