The Project referred to by the Deputy was approved to enter the department’s pipeline of school buildings for a project to provide 3 Mainstream Classrooms, 1 Home School Liaison classroom, 2 SET Rooms and 2 classroom SEN including central activities base. Also included in brief is reconfiguration of GP room back to original purpose. The project was devolved for delivery to the school authority.
The next step will be for the school to procure a consultant. This consultant will lead the project through the various stages of architectural planning and onwards through the statutory planning process and construction.
At this early stage, it is not possible to predict when this school building project will go to construction, nor when it will be completed, as progress depends upon many contingent factors that can arise.
My department will continue to engage with the school authority to provide practical advice and assistance on the project.
