The school authority referred to by the Deputy applied for an additional classroom in June 2008 to cater for a projected increase in enrolment. The enrolment on 30 September 2007 was 31 pupils and the school currently has a staffing of principal plus one mainstream teacher. This application for an additional classroom was refused on the basis that no additional mainstream teacher was due to be sanctioned for September 2008.
