The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included in my Department’s 6 Year Construction Programme (2019/21).

My Department will be in contact with the school authority in the context of initiating the architectural planning process for the project in due course.

In the meantime, my Department recently approved funding to the school to provide additional temporary accommodation pending the delivery of the building project.
