§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many children in attendance at the primary schools which are to be replaced by the new school at Killinchy live more than two miles from their present school; and how many live more than two miles away from the location of the proposed new school.
§ Mr. ScottThere are 69 children at the five primary schools which are to be replaced by the new school at Killinchy who live more than 2 miles from their present schools. Of the children at present enrolled in the five schools 131 live more than 2 miles from the location of the proposed new school.
§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many teachers and head teachers are employed at the schools which are to be replaced by the proposed new school at Killinchy.
§ Mr. ScottThere are five Principals, six full-time assistant teachers and one part-time teacher employed in the five schools which are to be replaced by the proposed new school at Killinchy.
§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the estimated cost of the proposed new primary school at Killinchy; what accommodation is to be provided; how many pupils are expected to be in attendance; and how many teachers are expected to be employed.
§ Mr. ScottThe estimated cost of the proposed new primary school at Killinchy is £482,000 and the following accommodation is being provided: nine classrooms; remedial teaching room; assembly/dining hall; kitchen; normal ancillary accommodation.
The school has been planned for an estimated enrolment of 223–255 pupils, which would entitle it to a basic staff of principal and eight assistant teachers. Staffing allocations for the 1983–84 school year will not however be determined until early in 1983, and so it is not possible now to state how many teachers will be employed.
