The school to which the Deputy refers was granted capital funding for the provision of one Mainstream (MCR) classroom and two Special Educational Teaching (SET) under my Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme in November 2025.
This programme involves the use of Project Management supports which is designed to enable the accommodation to be provided as quickly as possible and help ease the administrative workload for school authorities in relation to the management and delivery of projects. Rogerson Reddan & Associates Project Management (RR) has been appointed, from the Department’s Framework, to design and tender the project and oversee all elements of construction.
The school authority received their first tranche of funding in November 2025. The Design Team are preparing a detailed design for the project which will be submitted to my Department shortly for review.
My department is fully aware of the urgency in respect of this accommodation and will be working closely with the project managers and the school authority to keep it updated on overall project delivery and timelines.
