The school in question submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) for external environment works. The EWS operates on the basis of a minimal scope of works required to remedy an emergency situation and, on this basis, the school was advised to submit a revised scope of works with an accompanying itemised cost breakdown. This has been subsequently received and some further clarifications were requested, which are still outstanding. The EWS team is aware of the urgent nature of the works required and will keep the school informed throughout the process.
