I can confirm that the Department is in receipt of an application for major capital works from the management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers. The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale projects and has been assigned a Band 2 rating. Progress on the proposed works is being considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme from 2007 onwards.

The management authority of the school has also applied for additional classrooms under the Department's Permanent Accommodation Scheme 2007. All applications under this scheme are currently being assessed and a list of successful applicants will be published when this procedure has been completed.
