The management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers made an application under the summer works scheme for 2005. Owing to the level of demand for funding for higher-priority projects, unfortunately, it was not possible to fund the project in question this year.

It is open to the school's management authority to re-apply for funding under the 2006 summer works scheme, details of which will be announced shortly. In the meantime, funding provided to the school from the grant scheme for minor works should be used to address immediate health and safety concerns at the school.
