In January 2005, it was announced that a 28-acre (110,000 m2) site on the Tempo Road, Enniskillen, had been acquired for a £15m scheme to build an 800 pupil post primary school to replace the current site. It was expected to be completed by September 2008, though there have since been several delays. Construction has now, however, started on the new build, due to be completed by November 2021.[1] It is expected to cost £23.4m.[2]
