The school to which the Deputy refers submitted an application for funding under the Emergency Works Scheme (EWS) for funding for the demolition of the existing front boundary wall and the provision of a new boundary wall. These defects do not fall under the remit of the EWS and are more appropriate to the Summer Works Scheme (SWS). The EWS will however, fund repair works to address any Health and Safety issues related to the existing boundary wall. The school has been advised that the EWS application can be revised to reflect repairs to the existing boundary wall in the interim.
