I wish to advise the Deputy that a suitable site has been identified for the school in question. The site comprises of three plots of land with three separate vendors. My Department is continuing to progress any outstanding issues in consultation with the CSSO. When the site acquisition is complete, a building project for the school will be considered in the context of my Department's School Building and Modernisation Programme.
