The school to which the Deputy refers have been granted capital funding for Two x special education classroom plus ancillary accommodation under my Department’s SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme.
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 (RR) have been appointed, from my Department’s Framework, to design and tender this schools project. This is a collaborative process between the Project Manager, School Authority and the Department.
The building is substantially complete and is earmarked for handover to the school in August 2026.
My Department is fully aware of the urgency in respect of this accommodation and will be working closely with the Project Managers and School Authority to keep it updated on overall project delivery and timelines.
