The school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Departments Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) to install mechanical ventilation in its building together with roof insulation and window replacement works.  The application was unsuccessful because this type of work is outside the scope of the EWS.  In addition, mechanical ventilation is not recommended or provided in any school building. 

Roof insulation and window replacement works are appropriate to the Summer Works Scheme and the school may make an application under this Scheme for those works when next announced.
