I wish to advise the Deputy that significant additional accommodation comprising 6 general classrooms was approved by my Department under the pre-fab replacement scheme in September 2013.

However, following further discussions with the school, the school authority concerned submitted an alternative proposal to my Department in September last. This alternative proposal is currently being considered and I understand that my Department expects to be in further contact with the school shortly.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department is in receipt of an Additional School Accommodation Application Form for a special needs unit for the above mentioned school.

At a recent meeting, officials from my Department met with the Patron to discuss the application further. In this regard, additional information was sought and was received a number of days ago.

This application is currently being considered and a decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as this process has been completed.
