I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers applied for capital funding under the Permanent Accommodation Scheme for 2007.
However, following discussion with the school authority it was agreed that the scope of the works concerned is more appropriate for delivery under the traditional method. The application has, therefore, been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and has been assigned a band 2 rating. Progress on the project is being considered in the context of the multi annual School Building and Modernisation Programme from 2007 onwards.
