The programme targets investment to meet the immediate and pressing needs in schools, through smaller scale works, where new build major capital works are not deemed affordable or deliverable within the budget available. The School Enhancement Programme does not include new build solutions, as these are dealt with separately as part of the Major Works Programme.
Funding is available for projects to refurbish or extend existing school provision with priority given to projects aimed at facilitating amalgamation or rationalization in support of the area planning work being undertaken.
