The school to which the deputy refers received approval for a School Development Phase 2 in May 2020 under the Additional Accommodation Scheme 2020. This approval allows for the construction of 10 Mainstream Classrooms (prefab replacement), 3 SET Rooms, 2 Classroom SEN Base, 1 AU WC, 1 Staff Toilet plus ancillary accommodation.

The school authorities submitted a pre-stage 1 report in August 2021 and after its review a meeting between the school authorities, the project's Design Team and Department staff was held in October 2021. An email issued to school authorities following this meeting with outcomes and action points and follow-on work is ongoing between the school and its Design Team.

The project currently lies with the school authorities for progression.
