I am pleased to advise that approval under the Additional School Accommodation scheme issued to the school in question for the provision of Reconfiguration of part of main building to provide 1 x Technology Room/ Prep Area & toilets.

The project is being delivered under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme. Kerrigan Sheanan Newman Project Managers (KSN) have been appointed, from the Department’s Framework to design and oversee delivery of the project with access to the Department's Term Maintenance framework for contractors which allows expedited delivery of the works.

The Design Pack submitted for review by the Project Manager has been reviewed by Department officials. Formal approval of the design has issued to the school authority recently. It is now in order for the project to progress to the next stage.
