The school to which the Deputy refers is at the early stages of architectural planning for a major building project. A site visit took place at the school on the 16th of May 2007. The Department's technical staff will compile a report based on this visit to inform the brief of accommodation needed for the school. When the report is finalised the process of appointing a design team and detail design will commence. It is not possible to estimate when building works will commence due to the various stages of design that will have to be completed. However, the brief formulation report will be completed shortly and a design team will be appointed in the coming months.
