The list of successful applicants under the Summer Works Scheme for 2007 was announced in January of this year. Unfortunately, due to the number of applicants it was not possible to approve all applications received. It is open to the school authority to re-apply for funding under the Summer Works Scheme for 2008 details of which will be announced later this year.

It is also open to the school authority to use its annual Minor Works Grant for the works in question provided it is not required for more urgent works.
