I can confirm that the school to which the Deputy refers has applied for capital funding under each of the following headings:

The Summer Works Scheme 2007 (SWS).

The Permanent Accommodation Scheme 2007 (PAS).

Major capital works.

All applications under the SWS are currently being assessed. I intend to publish a list of successful applicants before Christmas.

Applications under the PAS 2007 are also being assessed and a list of successful applications will be published when this procedure has been completed.

With regard to the school's application for major capital works, this has been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria for large scale projects and has been assigned a Band 2 rating. Progress on the proposed works, which would otherwise be considered in the context of the School Building and Modernisation Programme from 2007 onwards, is dependent on the outcome of the school's applications under the SWS and the PAS.
