I can confirm that the school referred to by the deputy has been approved for a project under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme 2022. The project will provide the following accommodation at the school: 2 x SET Rooms and 2 x SEN Base. This project has been devolved for delivery to the school authority and is currently at Stage 1.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the Stage 1 Design Report has been received in my Department and is currently under review. Following completion of this review my Department will revert directly to the school authority.

In relation to payment of Stage 1 Design Team Fees, a payment instruction issued on the 10^thof May 2023 and the school should be in receipt of relevant funds shortly.
