My Department is currently exploring alternative temporary accommodation for use by the school referred to by the Deputy.

In relation to permanent accommodation for the school, a project manager has been appointed to undertake the master planning of an existing school site to demonstrate how the accommodation needs of this school and the existing school already located on the site could be met. This process is ongoing.

My Department is continuing to keep the school authority updated on these matters.

The facility in question is not a recognised school by my Department and the provision of accommodation does not come within the Department’s remit. I understand that the facility operates as an independent school.
