I can confirm that my Department received a major capital application from the school to which the Deputy refers for the development of a new school building.

A project for the school has not been included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme and it is, therefore, not possible to provide an indicative timeframe for the delivery of a major project for the school at this time.

However, my Department has recently granted approval to the school for the provision of additional rented accommodation to facilitate the appointment of a developing teaching post.
