The building project for the school referred to by the Deputy is being delivered under my Department’s Design and Build Programme. On completion, this campus project will deliver a new 16 classroom primary school and accommodation, including 2 classrooms for children with special educational needs, and a new 1,000 pupil post-primary school and accommodation, including 6 classrooms, for children with special educational needs on the ETB-owned site at Fortunestown Lane.
The project is currently at Stage 4 - Construction. Works are progressing on site, with the project being delivered on a phased basis. The first phase, which includes the primary school referred to by the Deputy, is expected to be completed in Quarter 2 2026, with the remaining phases to be completed in 2027 and 2028 respectively.
My department will continue to liaise with the school and its Patron body in relation to interim accommodation needs pending the delivery of the permanent school.
