"The two story extension will add much needed space and flexibility for this growing school.

"I will be writing to the Education Minister encouraging the department to put plans in place to begin construction as soon as possible so that the school can reap the benefits of this approval.”

The Planning Service said the approval is for additional classrooms and bathroom facilities as well as other additional facilities.

The Convent is one of Portadown’s older buildings having been built in the late 18th to early 19th centuries.
