The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is included in my Department’s Construction Programme which is being delivered under the National Development Plan.
Following tender submissions from prospective building contractors , my Department has recently authorised the school to issue the Letter of Acceptance to the successful tenderer. Construction should commence later this month and subject to no issues arising it is envisaged that the school will be ready for occupation in the 1st quarter of 2021.
The project will be delivered in two phases: Phase 1 involves the construction of a new building and associated site works. Phase 2 involves the refurbishment of existing buildings and associated site works.
