The project to which the Deputy refers includes the extension and refurbishment of an old building to cater for a long term capacity of 600 pupils plus a 3 class SEN base. The project has been devolved for delivery to the school patron who has appointed a design team.
The design team's Stage 1 architectural report is currently being prepared and requires significant enabling works on site which are currently underway. Once the stage 1 report is received and approved by my Department, the next stage of the architectural process is detailed design, and statutory approval followed by procurement and construction.
As the project is still at an early stage , it is not possible at this time to give a date for its completion. However the patron body will continue to engage directly with the school community to keep it fully informed of all progress.
