I can confirm that my Department received a major capital application from the school to which the Deputy refers for the development of a new school building.
A project for the school has not been included in my Department's six-year construction programme and it is, therefore, not possible to provide an indicative timeframe for the delivery of a major project for the school at this time.
However, my Department has recently granted approval in principle to the school for the provision of additional rented accommodation to facilitate the appointment of a developing teaching post. The school has submitted costs in respect of the accommodation which are currently being considered by my Department.
