I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has made an application to my Department for Permanent Recognition. The application is currently being assessed. The school authority has recently provided additional informaton to my Department, which will help inform the assessment process. A decision on the school's application will be conveyed to the school authority in due course when the assessment is complete.
