As advised to the Deputy recently, the school authority has submitted an application to my Department for additional accommodation to include additional classrooms and ancillary accommodation.

The process of assessing the school's likely long term projected staffing in order to determine the school's accommodation needs into the future is nearing completion. When this has been finalised, a decision will be taken on how best to meet the school's current and future accommodation needs.

The building project required to address the school's accommodation needs will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernization Programme 2006 — 2010.
