View answerThe permanent school building project for the school referred to by the Deputy will deliver a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school and accommodation, including four classrooms, for children with special educational needs. The project is being delivered under my Department's Design and Build programme.
The estimated completion of Phase 1 is Q1 2024 and will deliver accommodation for some 680 pupils and accommodation, including a temporary classbase and multi-sensory room, for children with special educational needs.
The estimated completion of Phase 2 is Q3 2024, which will deliver the remainder of the accommodation, including 4 classrooms, for children with special educational needs.
My Department will continue to keep the patron body and the school updated as the project progresses.
