The school to which the Deputy refers opened with provisional recognition in September 2004. Newly established schools are required to undergo a period of provisional recognition during which the operation of the school and the growth of pupil numbers are monitored. During that period it is the responsibility of the school patron to provide suitable accommodation. This accommodation should be capable of fully meeting the needs of the developing school until permanent recognition has been secured and my Department is in a position to acquire a site and provide permanent accommodation.
