Planning permission has been secured.
The school building project for this school was included on the 2012/16 five year construction programme and is scheduled therein to proceed to construction in 2016. The design team will submit the stage 2(b) report to my Department when it is completed and my Department will revert to the school with regard to the further progression of the project following consideration of that report.
