I can confirm that my Department received an application for capital funding under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme, from the school referred to by the Deputy. On completion of the assessment process, it was determined that the school has sufficient permanent accommodation on site to cater for their existing staffing cohort.

The school authority has appealed this decision and this is currently under consideration. Once the review has been completed, my Department will communicate the outcome directly to the school authority.
