WQ.205/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY D.J. WARR OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 28th MAY 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th JUNE 2024
Question
“Will the Minister state the current size of the built and external space (with both identified separately) of Springfield, Rouge Bouillon, and St Luke’s schools; and advise whether any consideration has been given to replacing these schools and, if so, whether the overall footprint of the schools would need to be the same, smaller, or larger?”
Answer
Springfield primary school and nursery built 1970 - site area 5416 m2. Gross internal area 1431m2
Rouge Bouillon school and nursery built in 1952 rebuilt in 1992-95 following destruction in a fire in April 1991– site area 7728 m2 Gross internal area 3886 m2
St Lukes school built 1868, extended in 1981 and further extended 1997/98 – site area 3431 m2. Gross internal area 1542m2
These schools are all the product of a bygone educational philosophy. The current standard for school construction, detailing type scope and area of all required facilities and functions is a UK Department for Education series of documents with the current Building Bulletin (BB) 103 the authoritative guideline. The 3 premises identified in the question do not meet those standards and are materially smaller on both internal spaces or external space and facilities for the number of forms of entry they provide. The Children, Young People, Education and Skills Department are scoping the Islands future requirements to outline what their needs are from a modern education estate and when they have agreed with Treasury on funding the need, JPH and the Infrastructure and Environment team will work to deliver the project.
