I can confirm that the Department is in receipt of applications for both the Small Schools Scheme 2007 and the Summer Works Scheme 2007 from the management authority of the school to which the Deputy refers. All applications received are currently being assessed.

Outside of the Summer Works Scheme, it is open to management authorities to use the devolved funding received by them under the Minor Works Grant Scheme to address any urgent infrastructural needs arising in their schools.
