I can confirm to the Deputy, that my Department is in receipt of an application for funding under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme, from the school in question.

The purpose of the ASA scheme is to ensure that essential mainstream classroom and Special Education Needs (SEN) accommodation is available to cater for pupils enrolled each year, where the need cannot be met by the school’s existing accommodation.

The application is currently being assessed by my officials and a decision will issue to the school directly upon completion of the assessment process.
