The school referred to by the Deputy applied for an extension and refurbishment of existing accommodation. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria which was revised last year following consultation with the education partners.

The project is being considered for progression in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2005-2009. The school has recently been given approval to carry out essential electrical works, pending delivery of its major building project.
