The scope of the works referred to by the Deputy is appropriate for consideration under the Summer Works Scheme. While an application was received from the school in question under the Summer Works Scheme for 2007, it did not refer to an upgrade in the facilities of the school's sports ground. All applications under the Summer Works Scheme 2007 are currently being assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria and it is intended to publish a list of successful applicants before Christmas.

If an ugrade in the sports grounds facilities are necessary, it will be open to the management authorities to apply for this under the next Summer Works Scheme, details of which will be announced in the coming year.
