The school referred to by the Deputy was approved funding to build a standalone extension comprising 4 mainstream classrooms, 2 SET rooms and a WC for assisted users.

The school authority has sought significant additional funding to provide car parking on a greenfield site at the rear of the school.

My Department’s Planning and Building Unit have requested the school authority to explore and provide designs and costings for three alternative design options for the project within the confines of its existing site.

As soon as this information is received it will be considered and the school authority will be advised of the outcome.
