I propose to take Questions Nos. 798 and 802 together.

An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension has been received from the school referred to by the Deputies.

Additional information on the school's application has recently been received and this will enable a thorough assessment of the school's requirements in order to determine the projected long-term staffing on which the school's accommodation requirements for the future will be based. A decision will then be made on best to meet the school's current and emerging accommodation needs.

The project is being considered in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2006-10.
