As the Deputy will be aware, the school in question were granted approval in February 2014 for a mainstream classroom with en-suite facilities to replace a prefab unit. This additional accommodation will significantly enhance this 3 classroom school's facilities.

My Department have since been made aware that the school, in question, are seeking additional funding to provide further works, that are significantly in excess of the scope of the accommodation approved. It is open to the school to submit details to my Department of the proposed works, in question. When this information has been received, my Department will then be in a position to assess the application.
