I can confirm that the Department is in receipt of an application for major capital funding from the management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers.

The application was assessed in accordance with published prioritisation criteria for large scale works and was assigned a band 2 rating. Progress on the proposed works will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme from 2007 onwards.
