The school submitted an application under the Small Schools Scheme 2007 for additional accommodation including mainstream classrooms. Due to the volume of applications received in the Department it was not possible to allocate funding to all proposed projects and the school referred to by the Deputy was not successful in this instance. It is open to the school authority to apply for funding under the 2008 scheme, details of which will be announced later this year. The Department has received an appeal from the management authority of the school to the initial decision which will be considered further.
