Report

Following a detailed and thorough feasibility study into the redevelopment and expansion needs of Grainville School, the Education Committee decided in 1998 that, in order to accommodate the predicted growth in pupil numbers and the changes in  the  Jersey  Curriculum,  a  phased  and  mixed  development  with  some  new  buildings  and  some  refurbishment  and remodelling of existing buildings should take place.  The proposals for this overall redevelopment scheme are split into the following four phases -

Phase 1 New Science block 2000 Phase 2 New Art, Design and Technology block and 2002

limited  remodelling  within  the  central administration and special needs areas

Phase 3 Remodelling  and  upgrading  of  main  1970s 2004

school blocks

Phase 4 Upgrading of sports and theatre blocks 2006

The proposed new Science block will be constructed on the site of the former FCJ Convent building which was acquired by the States in 1998 and demolished in 1999 to make way for this new development.

The  detached  building  will  accommodate  seven  purpose-designed  science  laboratories  on  two  floors,  plus  the  usual associated resource, administration and storage areas.

Subject to confirmation of receipt of a fixed price acceptable tender later this week and to the Finance and Economics Committee granting additional funds to cover identified and agreed increased costs due to inflation, the Education Committee will have sufficient funds within its capital budget and the Committee therefore asks the States to approve these drawings and to permit the project to proceed as planned.
