Following a detailed assessment of the school's long term accommodation needs, a decision was taken to provide a new six classroom school. In order to facilitate this development, the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of my Department in relation to site acquisition, is at an advanced stage of the acquisition of land adjacent to the existing site.

When the site acquisition process is finalised, the school building project will be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme 2006-2010.
