The permanent accommodation for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme. This delivery programme uses a professional external Project Management team to progress the project through the stages of architectural planning, tendering and construction.
It is intended that the project for the school referred to by the Deputy will be included in the next bundle of projects to proceed to tender later this year.
My Department continues to liaise with the school’s patron body in relation to the school’s interim accommodation needs. It is intended that the school will move to suitable interim accommodation on the permanent site for the 2023/2024 school year, pending delivery of the permanent accommodation for the new school.
