As the Deputy is aware, the project for the school referred to, is included in the 6 Year Construction Programme that I announced on 17 November last.

The timeline for when work is expected to proceed is outlined in the announcement. Each project is listed in the year when the commencement of construction works is anticipated. In the case of the school referred to, it is listed to proceed to construction in 2017.
