The Department has approved the provision of a new 36-classroom school to cater for an amalgamation involving the school referred to by the Deputy.

The amalgamation of the schools will take place on completion of the new school building which is to be built on a site provided by the parish. The project to provide the new school is in architectural planning and is currently at stage 2b (detailed design) of the planning process.

Progression on the project will be considered in the context of the Department's Multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme. In light of current competing demands on the capital budget of my Department, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of this project at this time.
