I wish to advise the Deputy that the school in question submitted an application for major capital funding to my Department to construct a new school building.
Given the need to meet demographic growth, the delivery of new schools, together with extension projects identified by my Department’s 6 year construction programme to meet future demand, will remain the focus of my Department’s budget for the coming years.
I am pleased to advise the Deputy that grant approval issued to the school in early 2018 for the provision of a new mainstream classroom to cater for increased staffing levels.
