Comment on this
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.
Kerrigan Sheanon Newman (KSN) 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 project started on site in July 2026 and earmarked for occupation by the end of November.
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.
