I wish to advise the Deputy that the school, to which she refers, currently has a major project to provide a 32 classroom school on the existing site The major building project is currently at an advanced stage of Architectural Planning (Stage 2b – Detailed Design).

With regard to the immediate accommodation issues arising, it is open to the school authority to submit an application for Emergency Works funding should they deem that any of the works required come within the scope of the Emergency Works Scheme. The main purpose of this Scheme is to ensure the availability of funding for urgent works to those schools that are most in need of resources as a result of an emergency situation.

The application, once received, will be assessed and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority.
