Written answers

The school to which the Deputy refers was approved to enter the departments pipeline of school building projects under the Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) Scheme for reconfiguration works to existing accommodation to provide SEN accommodation and 2 SET rooms.

The project was devolved for delivery to the school authority.

I can confirm that in Q3 2024 my Department approved this project to construction and officials in my Department have since been informed by the school authority that a contractor has been appointed to carry out these works.

It is now within the remit of the school authority to progress this project accordingly.
