I wish to advise the Deputy that a single school is funded by my Department to provide education for pupils with a moderate, severe or profound general learning disability or pupils who have autism. Some of school's classes take place in a separate building, referred to by the Deputy, and this may have led some observers to think that these classes are a separate entity. This is not the case. There is one single school that caters for all the pupils.

This school has full Departmental recognition and therefore the issue of recognition of a component part of the school does not arise.
