The school referred to by the Deputy were allocated a devolved grant for prefabricated accommodation in October 2018 under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme which will enable the school authority deliver 5 x Mainstream Classrooms, En-suite Toilets, Shower Area & Staff Toilets, Multi-sensory room, 3 x Small Safe Places, Storage, Staff Room & Office/Administration Room to meet the short to medium term accommodation needs of school and pupils concerned.
I understand that the project is currently going through architectural planning and that a planning application has been submitted to the relevant local authority.
The school is not included in my Department's current school building programme for a permanent building.
