The Summer Works Scheme is the funding mechanism for upgrade works to the external environment of a school including upgrades to car parking facilities.

The school in question may apply for an upgrade to its car park under the next Summer Works Scheme when announced.

Alternatively, the school may use its minor works grant for the works as this grant, which was recently paid to schools, must be spent on the physical infrastructure of a school or on items of furniture and equipment for educational use including IT related equipment.
