A major building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is currently underway, and will deliver a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school and accommodation, including two classrooms, for children with special educational needs. The project is being delivered in two phases, under my Department's Design and Build.
The school commenced operation in the completed Phase 1 of the new school building in September 2022, which delivered accommodation for some 500 pupils. The project for Phase 2 of the new school, which is currently in construction is anticipated to be handed over in early Q3 2025. This will deliver the remainder of the school's accommodation.
My Department will continue to keep the school and its patron body updated as the phase 2 permanent project progresses.
