The school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under the summer works scheme for 2005. The application was unsuccessful because the works largely related to maintenance matters which should be funded from the schools devolved maintenance grant under the grant scheme for minor works. The school authority appealed this decision and, following a review, the original decision was upheld. The summer works scheme for 2005 has been finalised and the list of successful applicants has been published. It is open, however, to the school authority to apply for works consistent with the terms and conditions of the 2006 summer works scheme when it is announced later this year.
