I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has written to my Department with a proposal to relocate to alternative accommodation. As the school has provisional recognition, the provision of interim accommodation remains the responsibility of the Patron. However, my officials are examining the proposal and will convey a response to the school authority on the matter in due course.
