View answerThe project for the school referred to by the Deputy has been devolved to the patron body, Educate Together, for delivery. The Patron body has appointed a consultant to deliver the accommodation project.
A planning application has been submitted for temporary school accommodation which will consist of 12 classrooms with en-suite toilets, staffroom, 4 support rooms, Principals' office, administration office, staff toilets and storage to accommodate and consolidate the school on the Garryduff Sports Centre site.
In tandem with the planning application for Garryduff Sports Centre a planning application will be lodged shortly for two additional temporary classrooms at the Douglas Hall site in case the Garryduff Sports Centre provision is delayed in any way.
