In 2013, investment in “minor works” at the North’s schools has amounted to more than
£42 million, addressing issues ranging from repairs to more significant refurbishment projects and extensions. The North’s Department of Education reviews and approves minor works applications on a continuing basis.
In addition to the positive impact on pupils, teachers and school staff, the investment also provides a much-needed boost to the construction industry, helping to sustain local jobs.
Minor works contracts awarded during November included the upgrade of a link corridor at Ballyclare High School and the replacement of three tennis courts at Newry High School. In addition, there was drainage to the grass pitch at St Colmcille’s High School in Crossgar.
