I can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to has been approved for a project under my Department's Additional Accommodation Scheme 2021. This project will provide for a two classroom SEN base and has been devolved for delivery to the school authority.

This project was approved in March 2021 and is in the early design stage.

I can advise the Deputy that the school has also been approved funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme to address the issues with the fabric of the building in question.
