Question:
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on the progress of the Priory Integrated College, Holywood new build construction project.

Answer:

Priory Integrated College 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 600 pupils.

In February 2020 the EA successfully completed the appointment of an Integrated Consultant Team to carry out the design of the proposed Priory Integrated College. The business case was approved by the Department of Finance (DoF) in August 2020. This identified the preferred option as a new build school at a site on Redburn Road in Holywood.

The Integrated Consultant Team is now working on the early stages of the design process.
