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 the following accommodation: 1 mainstream classroom, 2 SEN base, 1 office, 1 staffroom and a principal’s office under my Department's Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme. The responsibility for this project has been devolved to the school authority.
An increase in the brief for this project required the school authority to procure a new design team in 2022. The school authority has submitted its Preliminary Design report and this 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 shortly regarding the outcome of this review.
