The project to which the Deputy refers was approved funding under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme for the provision of 4 mainstream classrooms and a 2 classroom SEN base.

I am pleased to advise that the review by officials at my Department has been completed, and the project was approved to Stage 2B in October 2023. It is now the responsibility of the design team on behalf of the school authority, to progress the project to the next stage.

My Department will continue to liaise with the school authority as this project progresses through all the required stages.
