It is proposed to amalgamate the school to which the Deputy refers with another school in the area. The resulting building project has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and has been assigned a Band 1 priority rating. The local inspector has been requested to provide long term projections for both schools to establish the extent of accommodation which will be needed to facilitate the

amalgamation. As soon as this information has been received and assessed, progress on the proposed works will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme from 2007 onwards.
