I can confirm to the Deputy that in December 2017, my Department approved funding for the provision of one Mainstream Classroom ensuite and a User Assisted toilet at the school referred to.

Subsequently, on foot of a second application received from the school, the project was increased to include a S.E.T. room in June 2018.

The delivery of this project is at an early stage of architectural planning.

The Department considers that this accommodation is appropriate to meet the school's requirements and in that regard, there are no further deficits of accommodation at the school.
