As the Deputy is aware,  the school in question has submitted an application to my Department, for significant capital funding for additional school accommodation. The application will be considered in the context of the very significant challenges facing my Department in prioritising available capital funding for essential mainstream classrooms to meet the demand for extra school places and in cases where additional teachers have been appointed.

A decision will be conveyed to the school authority as soon as the assessment process has been completed.
