The school to which the Deputy refers was approved funding in 2015 under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide one classroom, three resource rooms and a WC for assisted users.

The school recently applied for a grant uplift. My Officials are currently liaising with the school to ascertain how and why the application for additional funding arises. When all of the relevant information has been received from the school and reviewed the school will be informed of my Department's decision.
