As the Deputy is aware, the school in question was approved funding under the Additional School Accommodation Scheme (ASA) for the provision of two 80m2 Mainstream classrooms and 1 Special Education Needs Base. The school was also approved funding under the Summer Works Scheme (SWS) 2022 for an external works project.

The school authority have submitted their Stage 1 ASA report, and this is currently with the Department's professional and technical team for review. The SWS project is currently at pre-planning stage.

Whilst these projects are to be delivered on a devolved basis, my Department is engaged directly with the school to ensure that both projects are delivered in the most effective and efficient manner possible.
