Education Minister Paul Givan has opened the new £56m St Ronan’s College in Lurgan.

The school provides places for 1,750 pupils and replaces three previous post-primary schools in the area.

Construction began in April 2023 and finished in August 2025.

Givan said the investment delivers a new building and supports pupils in getting the best possible start.

He said teachers, staff and pupils deserve facilities that allow children to learn and flourish.

The minister thanked school staff, governors, consultants, contractors and officials for their work on the project.

The school will serve current and future pupils as well as the wider community.
