I can confirm that the school referred to by the Deputy received approval from my Department for a devolved grant to provide an additional classroom and an additional resource room in April 2010. One of the conditions of the grant was that the school would manage the project in order to ensure that it would be delivered successfully without the need for additional funding from the Department. Since then, my Department has received requests on behalf of the school in question for additional funding to meet planning requirements and to replace existing temporary structures on the site. Officials in my Department are currently assessing these requests and will convey a decision on the matter to the school authority when this assessment process is complete.
