The project to which the Deputy refers was approved a project under my Department’s Additional School Accommodation (ASA) scheme to provide the following - 8 general classrooms, 4 SET rooms, 1 music room, 1 textiles room, 1 art room, 1 project store, 1 multimedia room, 2 science labs /1 prep area, 1 library and 1 GP/dining room.
The project was devolved for delivery to the school authority. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that the Stage 2a report submitted on behalf of the school's Design Team, is currently under review. Once this review is completed the outcome will be communicated to the school authority directly.
At this early design stage of the project, it is not possible to provide a detailed timeline for delivery. The Department will assist school authorities in any way possible to deliver this much needed project.
