The Deputy will be aware that a building project for the school in question is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme (2019/21).

In line with the Memorandum of Understanding which formalises the local authorities' part in securing sites for educational use, my Department is working with the relevant Local Authority in relation to identifying and acquiring a suitable site for the school concerned.  

When a site has been secured, a project for the school in question will be progressed into the architectural planning process.
