The school referred to by the Deputy opened in September 1998 with provisional recognition and was granted permanent recognition in 2002. The permanent accommodation needs of the school are being considered in the context of the schools building and modernisation programme and I recently announced the first phase of this programme, providing details of 122 major school building projects which will prepare tenders and move to construction during 2005. This is the first in a series of announcements I plan to make in the coming period that will include details of schools identified as suitable for construction under public private partnerships; an expansion of the number of schools that will be invited to deliver their building projects on the basis of devolved funding; details of schools with projects approved under the 2005 summer works scheme; schools whose projects will further progress through the design process and schools that will be authorised to commence architectural planning. The school authority will be kept apprised of developments regarding its application.
