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

The application has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale projects and was assigned a band 2 rating. Officials recently carried out a technical assessment of the school building and site to assess its suitability to cater for the long-term needs of the school. Further progress in the matter will be considered once the technical report becomes available.
