At that time it was announced that the famous St Mary’s College playing fields will be the site for the new school building.

There are over 600 hundred pupils attending the school at the moment but health and safety regulations have restricted the intake for pupils for some time.

The new building will open up new potentials and allow the opportunity to cover new subjects.
