The proposed extension for the school in question will cater for a long term enrolment of 700 pupils. The accommodation to be provided will consist mainly of specialist rooms (Mathematics, Arts/Crafts, Physics Lab., Construction Studies etc.) with stores, staff accommodation and circulation making up the rest. The architectural planning of the project is at an advanced stage. The further progression of the project will be considered on an ongoing basis in the context of my Department's School Building and Modernisation Programme.

It is not possible at this stage to say when construction will commence on the project referred to by the Deputy.
