The school to which the Deputy refers applied for funding under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) to repair its boundary wall. The EWS is intended for smaller projects with the minimum works carried out to enable the school to remain open. As the scope of the works were outside the remit of the scheme, the application was refused. The school was advised to submit a revised scope of works with an accompanying Itemised Cost Breakdown to address only the immediate emergency. The EWS team will review the revised application when it is received and the school will be kept informed throughout the process.
