Newpark Comprehensive is one of five post primary schools in the Dun Laoghaire Post Primary Feeder Area. Overall enrolments in Newpark have increased by 4% in the last 4 years.
The building project for Newpark Comprehensive has been included in the 5 year construction programme and is scheduled to commence construction in 2015/16.
A stage 2(b) submission was received last week and is currently under review. This submission includes tender documents and is the precursor to tender and construction stage.
Due to annual financial constraints and the need to prioritise the funding available each year for the provision of new school accommodation to meet the increasing demographic requirements it is not possible to advance all projects to construction in the early years of the programme.
