The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy has provided a new 16 classroom primary school including accommodation for children with special educational needs and was delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme.
The school commenced operation in the new school building on Friday 1st September, two days later than anticipated due to resource and material supply difficulties experienced by the contractor in the latter stage of the build. My Department agreed the revised return date with the school and its patron body in advance of the scheduled return to school and provided regular updates on progress during this period.
