I can confirm to the Deputy that the school referred to was approved to enter my Department’s pipeline of school buildings for a project to provide a 2 Classroom Special Educational Needs base and 4 SET rooms under the Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme 2020. The project was devolved to the school authority for delivery.
A Stage 2a report has been submitted and is currently being reviewed from both a technical and cost perspective in accordance with the requirements of the Public Spending Code.
The Department will be in contact with the school directly once this review has been completed.At this time, it is not possible to give a timeframe as to when this project will go to construction.
