The School to which the deputy refers applied for funding for roof repairs under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS). After assessing this application, a revised scope of works and accompanying Itemised Cost Breakdown was requested from the school, which has not been received to date. Once a response is received the EWS team will consider and revert to the school, and will continue to liaise with the school as appropriate in the meantime.

The School to which the Deputy refers has not submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS). The purpose of the Emergency Works Scheme grant is specifically for unforeseen emergencies, or to provide funding to facilitate inclusion and access for pupils with special needs. An emergency is deemed to be a situation which poses an immediate risk to health, life, property or the environment which is sudden, unforeseen and requires immediate action, and in the case of a school, if not corrected would prevent the school or part thereof from opening. The option is available to the school in question to submit an EWS application for any works that the school may need that fall under the remit of the EWS.
