View answerThe building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included on the six year construction programme announced on 17th November 2015 and is listed to proceed to tender and construction in 2017.
The project has recently completed early architectural planning, Stage 2A – the Developed Design Stage and has been authorised to progress to Stage 2B, Detailed Design, which includes the application for planning permission and other statutory approvals and the preparation of tender documents. However, until the stage 2B report has been fully approved it will not be possible to provide any further indication of the timeframe for the progression of the project to tender and construction.
