I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has been in on-going contact with the school authority, in question, in relation to the school's accommodation issues.

In that regard, I can confirm that the greenfield site assessment has been finalised and the overall accommodation brief for a replacement school was also recently completed and forwarded to the school. The school have made some observations in respect of the overall accommodation brief and a response will issue to the school in the coming days in this regard.

Once the overall accommodation brief has been finalised, my Department anticipates that the project will then be progressed into the architectural planning process.
