A pot of £40 million is being released through the School Enhancement Programme (SEP), which aims to benefit those who need substantial work that falls short of a new build.
There is limited money available for capital projects due to major pressure on finances across the entire education system in Northern Ireland. The Department of Education says there can no longer be a presumption of a new building where one is needed.
Funding of between £500,000 and £5 million is available through the SEP. This is for smaller scale works including refurbishments or extensions. The schools are Dominican College, Portstewart, Methodist College, Belfast, St Columbanus’ College in Bangor, St Mary’s Christian Brothers’ in Belfast and St Patrick’s and St Brigid’s College, Claudy. It is unknown how much each school will receive.
