I am pleased to advise the Deputy that approval has issued for the provision of 1 x SEN classroom at the school referred, to cater for enrolments.

The project is being delivered under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme. This approach supports accelerated delivery of the accommodation and maximises assistance to the school for this brief, the project will be delivered from the Department’s Procurement Frameworks. A Project Management company will be appointed, from the Department’s Framework, to design and tender the project. This consultant will lead the project through the various stages of planning process and construction.

The School Authority has overall responsibility for delivery of the project.
