I wish to advise the Deputy that approval issued to the School Authority in question under the Additional School Accommodation scheme for the provision of 2 Mainstream Classrooms, 1 Special Education Tuition, 2 Special Educational Needs Classrooms, 1 Central Activities room, 1 Skills room and 1 Office.
The project is being delivered under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme. The use of the Department's Modular Accommodation Framework assists in ensuring lead in periods for procurement of modular accommodation are minimised to the greatest extent possible.
The contractor is on site and is working on the piling for the foundations . My Department is fully aware of the urgency in respect of this accommodation and will be working closely the school authority to keep it updated on overall project delivery and timelines
