WQ.153/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st MARCH 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th APRIL 2025
Question
"Will the Minister advise what plans, if any, there are for the development of the primary school estate in St. Helier with specific reference to both St. Luke's School and Springfield School?"
Answer
Currently, there are proposals to design and construct a new St Helier Town Primary School, and land at Gas Place has been identified as the preferred location.
The design will incorporate the construction of a new two form entry school in the heart of St Helier. This will be able to accommodate pupils from both St Luke's and Springfield Primary Schools, as well as providing a new facility for La Passerelle Primary School. Both St Luke's and Springfield are operating from aging buildings requiring essential maintenance or have compromised external play areas. The Springfield School site has previously been identified as a possible future park for St Helier.
The current Government Plan details £2.5m of budget for 2028, to commence works. Concept design and pre-feasibility are being undertaken with the aim to produce detailed designs to make a formal Planning Application in advance of 2028.
