A project to provide permanent accommodation for the school to which the Deputy refers involves the acquisition of a site. Contracts for the provision of a site for the school are now being exchanged and my Department has recently issued instructions to the CSSO to complete the transaction.

The progression of a building project for the school from initial design stage through to construction phase will then be considered in the context of my Department's multi-annual School Building and Modernisation Programme.

However, in light of current competing demands on the Department's capital budget, it is not possible to give an indicative timeframe for the progression of a project for the school at this time.
