An application for capital funding towards the provision of an extension was received in December 2005 from the school referred to by the Deputy. The application is being assessed to determine the long term accommodation needs of the school. A decision will then be taken on how best to provide for the school's long-term accommodation needs.

My Department is currently considering an application from the school for an additional teaching post for September 2006. The school authority has been advised that if an additional post is approved the need for temporary accommodation at the school will be reassessed in the light of this decision.
