WQ.147/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th MARCH 2019
Question
Would the Minister explain what steps she is taking to extend the footprint of Rouge Bouillon School now the States of Jersey Police has been relocated?
Answer
Officers of the former Education Department have held exploratory talks with Jersey Property Holdings regarding the potential benefit of Rouge Bouillon School expanding on to the site of the former States of Jersey Police headquarters. Similar discussions have taken place with the Connétable and local Deputies with the school's leadership.
Separately, last year I requested a strategic review of the property portfolio held by schools, education and children's services, which is linked to the Department's growth and long term Capital programme.
I see the extension and future development of Rouge Bouillon School as a key part of this review. Initial meetings have taken place to agree the terms of reference of the property review and once complete, dependant on funding, work will be prioritised accordingly.
In the meantime, I endorse the position of my colleague, the Infrastructure Minister, in so far as there are a range of considerations for this site, including that part of the site is in use by our Fire and Rescue Service, and a building on the land is listed, and this also needs to be taken into account.
