Amharc ar fhreagraThe permanent accommodation for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme. This delivery programme uses a professional external Project Management team to progress the project through the stages of architectural planning, tendering and construction.
The most recent bundle of projects including the school referred to by the Deputy went to tender on the 18/04/23.
My Department will continue to liaise with the school’s patron body in relation to the school’s interim accommodation needs. It is intended that the school will move to suitable interim accommodation on the permanent site for the 2023/2024 school year, pending delivery of the permanent accommodation for the new school.
