The school referred to by the Deputy was approved to enter the Department’s pipeline of school buildings to provide 3 Mainstream Classrooms, 3 Resource Rooms & 1 Home School Liaison Room and 2 Class SEN Base.

I can confirm that this project received the Departments approval to go to construction in November 2024. The project has commenced on site and is progressing well.

At this stage, it is not feasible to give a definitive completion date for this project as the timeline for delivery is influenced by a range of contingent factors, including contractor engagement and potential site-specific challenges. However, current forecasts indicates that completion is expected towards the latter part of 2026.

My department will continue to engage with the school authority to provide practical advice and assistance on this much needed project.
