The school to which the Deputy refers to was granted funding under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme 2020 for the provision of 7 x General Classrooms, En-suite Toilet & 1 x Assisted Toilet, 2 x SEN Base & Purchase of Modular Accommodation of 1 x 100m2General Classroom.

The project is devolved for delivery to the school authority. My Department issued a letter of approval in respect of the Modular Accommodation and the first drawdown of funds was issued recently. The school authorities have submitted a stage 1 design report in respect of the other aspects of their ASA project which has been forwarded to my Department's Technical Team for review. Once this review is complete, the Department will advise the school authorities directly regarding the next stage of the process.
