The school was offered and accepted a devolved grant in 2005 to provide an additional permanent classroom. The grant on offer was subsequently increased, at the request of the school authority, to include the provision of a resource room.

In June 2006 additional funding was approved to cover unforeseen building costs. In August 2006 the school received approval for further additional funding for unforeseen costs. Since then the school has submitted another appeal for more funding relating to unanticipated extra works. The school has been requested to provide detailed information regarding these extra works and their cost. The matter will be considered by my Department on receipt of this information from the school.
