The school in question was approved funding in 2014 under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme to provide 3 new mainstream classrooms.

In late 2016, additional funding was provided to the school authority to cover increased building costs for the approved works. My Department's Planning and Building Unit is satisfied that the total grant being provided is sufficient to deliver the approved project.

The school authority has been notified of this decision.
