The project to which the Deputy refers, has been devolved for delivery to National Development Finance Agency (NDFA).

This project is currently at Stage 2A (detailed design) of the architectural planning process. Once the stage report submission is received, reviewed and approved, the next step for the design team will be to obtain the statutory planning approvals. When these are in place, the project can move forward to tender and construction stages in due course.

While at this early stage it is not possible to provide a timeline for completion of the project, the NDFA will be engaging directly with the school authority to keep it informed of progress.
