Question:
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on the progress of the major refurbishment works being undertaken at St Patrick’s Primary School, Holywood.

Answer:

There are currently no major refurbishment works being undertaken at St Patrick's Primary School in Holywood. The School was not submitted by its managing authority, the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS), for consideration under either of the most recent Major Capital Works or the School Enhancement Programme (SEP2) calls.

A minor works scheme for additional accommodation was completed in 2018 and included a Resource room, SEN room and refurbishment of an existing classroom. A fire risk scheme applied for under the 2017 joint call for minor works, is currently being considered. Five other applications received under that call have not been prioritised to progress at this time.
