I would like to inform the deputy that the correct mechanism for uprgrading heating systems falls within the scope of my Department's Summer Works Scheme; schools are free to apply for funding under this scheme when it next opens for applications.

If the heating system in a particular school completely fails, the school may apply for funding through the Emergency Works Scheme; details of this scheme are available on the Department's website.
