The school to which the Deputy refers was sanctioned a devolved grant under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2014 to provide 2 mainstream classrooms, 1 WC for assisted users and 3 resource rooms.

In March, 2016, following a request for additional funding, my Department increased the grant allocation for the approved works.

A further request for additional funding has recently been submitted to my Department.  This request is being examined and my Department will revert to the School authority directly once a decision has been made. 

The funding allocated to the project to date remains committed and is not affected by the school's latest application for additional funding.
