Question:
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on the progress of the Bangor Central Integrated Primary School new build construction project.

Answer:

Bangor Central Integrated Primary School has been selected for a major capital investment project to improve or replace its existing accommodation. The project will cater for the school’s current approved enrolment of 618 pupils.

The business case was approved by my Department in July 2020 and identified the preferred option of a new-build school on a new site on the Balloo Road in Bangor. In July 2020 the Education Authority appointed an Integrated Consultant Team and the early stages of design are now progressing well with good engagement between all stakeholders.
