The school to which the Deputy refers to was approved funding under my Additional School Accommodation Scheme for the provision of a 2 Classroom Special Education Needs Base, 3 Mainstream Classrooms and Emergency Works for Fire Safety.

The project is devolved for delivery to the school authority and a design team has been appointed by the school. I can confirm that my Department has received the Design Team's Stage 1/2A architectural design report. This report is currently being reviewed by officials in my Department and the outcome of this review which is nearing completion will be conveyed to the school authority shortly following which the project is expected to progress through the other architectural stages.
