An application was submitted by the school referred to by the Deputy under the Permanent Accommodation Scheme 2007 for a learning Support Room, Parent Room, Pastoral Care Room, Technical Drawing/Graphics Room, Science Laboratory, Staff Room Extension. On Monday, 5 March 2007, I announced details of the schools to receive funding under the Permanent Accommodation Scheme 2007. However, this application was not successful, as the Department's evaluation of the project determined that a major building project would be more appropriate to address the school's accommodation needs into the future.

A major application for an extension at the school has been assessed and schedules of accommodation to meet the current and long term accommodation needs of the school have been drawn up by the Department. The further progression of this project will be considered in the context of the multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.
