The major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at an early stage of architectural planning, Stage 2a - Developed Design Stage.
The Stage 2a Report has recently been received and is currently being reviewed by my Department. Following this review, and subject to no issues arising, the project will be authorised to progress to Stage 2b – Detailed Design Stage, which includes the applications for Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of Tender Documents and prequalification of contractors.
This project was included in the six year programme announced on 17th November and is scheduled to proceed to construction in 2016.
