The school referred to by the Deputy has an application with my Department for ancillary accommodation to include a GP room, a library, a medical room, resource room, staff room, office and toilets. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria, which was revised following consultation with the Education partners and is being considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010. It is open to the school management authority to apply under the Summer Works Scheme for minor refurbishment works such as the replacement of outdoor toilet facilities. The application form for the Summer Works Scheme 2007 will be available later this year.
