As the Deputy will be aware, a building project for the school to which he refers is included in the 5 Year Construction Plan announced in March 2012 and is scheduled to proceed to construction in 2015/16.

The school's Patron has undertaken to acquire a site for the new school building. My Department has contacted the Patron's office seeking an update on the site acquisition and a response is awaited.

When a suitable site has been acquired, my Department will then be in a position to progress the project through the architectural planning process.
