Text
Mr Honeyford asked the Minister of Education, having noted that, less than a year ago, the Member was in Fort Hill Integrated College in their constituency, senior Education Authority (EA) officials have since been out and the Minister has visited the school, whether, following the recent inspection from the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) that confirmed what parents, staff and pupils all know, namely that there is a fantastic school community but the buildings are not fit for purpose, and identified serious health and safety risks for pupils, the Minister can set out clearly what immediate actions his Department, working with EA, is taking to ensure that pupil and staff safety has not been compromised.
