The project to which the Deputy refers is included in my Department's five year building programme to proceed to Tender and Construction in 2015/16. This new school will operate under the patronage of the local Education and Training Board.

The Design Team has been appointed and are working on the early stages of architectural planning. The design team appointed were the winners of the post-primary school design competition held in 2012.

The Design Team, as part of the normal architectural planning process, will engage in pre-planning consultations with the Local Authority regarding the requirements for the project, including traffic management requirements. Any concerns communicated by the local community to the Local Authority will, if highlighted by the Local Authority, be taken into consideration by the design team as part of the pre-planning consultation process with the Local Authority.
