As the Deputy is aware, my Department approved very significant levels of devolved funding to the school, to which the Deputy refers, in June 2011 and has increased the level of grant-aid on two occasions since to provide a permanent extension comprising 2 mainstream classrooms, 2 special education rooms, toilets, disabled access and car-parking/bus set-down.

The school has applied for further additional accommodation and in that regard, my Department officials wrote to the school recently to seek a number of clarifications. Once a response has been received, my Department will then be in a position to meet the school authority to consider the application further.
