I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the application from the school in question for funding under the Summer Works Scheme to replace doors and windows has been approved following reassessment. The school management has been informed of the decision. A key principle behind the devolution of this Scheme is that responsibility for the management of the project is devolved to the school authority. The school authority can then make use of its local knowledge and presence on the ground to manage the project more effectively and ensure better value for money for the taxpayer.
