The building project for the school referred to by the deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning. The School Planning Section of my Department is currently re-examining the Long Term Projected Enrolments on which the accommodation needs will be based. When the long-term projected enrolment has been finalised and agreed with the school authorities, my Department will draw up schedules of accommodation for the extension. The project will then be progressed in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

I can confirm to the Deputy that the school to which he refers has applied to the Department for capital funding for a Resource Room and a General Purpose Room. The project has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale building projects and has been assigned a Band 3 rating. Progress on the project is being considered in the context of the multiannual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
