The school in question was approved funding under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme for 2015. The funding provided was to build a permanent stand-alone mainstream classroom. Twice during the project a funding uplift was given for significant additional works.
Over and above this, the school authority commissioned further works, which it may do subject to meeting the cost itself.
My Department is satisfied that the total grant provided was sufficient to deliver the approved works and it has no plans to make further grant aid available to the school for the project. The school is aware of this position.
