The annual Minor Works Grant at primary level enables schools to prioritise and address issues in their schools which can include playground equipment or equipment to support extra curricula activities. This grant is paid annually in either December or January.

The Summer Works Scheme may also be an option for schools given that one of its categories (Category 10) deals with applications relating to the external environment. The Summer Works Scheme operates on a multi-annual basis with the most recent application process held in 2020.
