Projects allocated funding under the 2020 Summer Works Scheme relate to applications submitted by schools in category 10 from the Summer Works Scheme 2016/17 and category 1 from the Summer Works Scheme 2020 onwards. Commensurate with the level of funding set aside for the Scheme, applications are being assessed on a top down basis in accordance with the prioritisation criteria outlined in the Circular accompanying the Scheme. In that context, applications submitted for other works/categories, such as the one referred to by the Deputy, will be considered under future rounds of the Summer Works Scheme.
