The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy has been included in the 5 year construction programme. A stage 2(b) submission was received in my Department in May. This submission includes tender documents and is the precursor to tender and construction stage. The Design team has been asked to do a review of the tender documents and revert to the Department when that review is complete. Due to the financial constraints imposed by the need to prioritise the funding available each year for the provision of new school accommodation to meet the increasing demographic requirements the project for Newpark Comprehensive has been scheduled to commence construction in 2015/16.
