“The works will be carried out in schools mainly over the summer months in order to keep disruption to students, teachers and other to a minimum.
“The projects receiving funding relate to applications submitted by schools in categories 7, 8 and 9 under the multi-annual scheme. For any schools who applied under category 10, which relates to external works such as upgrade and resurfacing of yards and car parking, there will be further news on this next year.
