The project referred to by the Deputy was part of my announcement last year of projects to proceed to tender and construction over a 12 to 15 month period.

Planning permission for this project was obtained in January 2006. The tender documents are currently being finalised and it is envisaged that the project will be tendered in early summer 2006. Based on this timeframe, construction of the new school should commence in early autumn 2006 with a projected completion date of the end of 2007.
