The Althea Scatliffe Primary School Building To Be Demolished
The Althea Scatliffe Primary School (ASPS) building will be demolished during the Easter break, Education Minister Sharie de Castro confirmed this week.
De Castro made the disclosure on March 28 on the VIP Let’s Talk radio show. The demolition crew is expected to start work by this weekend.
The building was deemed structurally unsafe in June 2022 following an assessment by Civil and Structural Engineering Limited which was commissioned by the Ministry of Education. Culture, Youth Affairs and Sports.
The 375 students and 40 staff members were relocated to various other schools in Tortola in June 2022.
The building is expected to be demolished over the two-week Easter school break to pave the way for the construction of a new building.
