The school to which the Deputy refers to was approved funding under my Department's Additional School Accommodation scheme for the provision of four special education classrooms.

A Stage 1 (initial design) architectural report was recently received in my Department from the school and this is currently being reviewed by my Department's Professional & Technical officials. Upon completion of that review, a decision will issue to the school authority to advise it on how to proceed with their project.

Whilst this project has been devolved to the school authority for delivery, the Department will engage directly with the school to provide whatever practical assistance and advice is necessary to implement this important project for the wider school community.

I am pleased to inform the Deputy that my Department has approved the provision of one additional classroom accommodation under the modular framework, for Kolbe Special School that will cater for children with special educational needs.

My Department will continue to keep the School Authority updated as the project progresses.
