The major 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. The brief for this project is to provide a new replacement school building to accommodate 12 classrooms and a 2 class SEN base.
The project is currently at Stage 2a – Developed Design, where the preferred option design is developed to a stage where the project is fully costed and can be prepared to lodge for statutory approvals.
A Stage 2a addendum report has recently been submitted to my Department and is under a review. On completion of that review, my Department will be in contact with the School and its Design Team with regard to the further progression of this project.
