STRATEGIC
REVIEWS OF PROVISION
Controlled Schools
In accordance with the
Board’s Strategic Capital Development
Plan 2004-2009, several reviews of controlled school provision
have been undertaken.
The purpose of these reviews is to provide a strategic framework
in which to progress a prioritised programme of capital development
schemes. Each scheme arising from the reviews will be subject
to economic appraisal of a range of options, the publication
of development proposals where appropriate, statutory approvals
such as planning permission and financial approval from the Department
of Education. Therefore the implementation of the final reviews
will include further involvement and consultation with relevant
schools and might take 10-15 years to complete. Naturally the
Board will monitor enrolment trends and other information during
that time and any material change in circumstances may lead to
further review of proposals.
Following a period of consultation, Strategic Reviews of Provision
were adopted by the Board in 2005-2006 relating to the Lisburn
Urban area, the Dunmurry area, the Castlereagh dual-carriageway
area, Bangor town and the North East Ards area.
Further reviews have been undertaken in relation to controlled
schools in Newtownards town and in the Mid and South Down area.
Following consultation the Strategic Reviews of Provision for
these areas were adopted by the Commissioners in June 2007.
All of the above Strategic Reviews of Provision may be accessed
from the following list.
