List schema permissions

Question

Hi,
Is there a way to list permissions on a schema granted to a user? Not objects in the schema, but schema itlself?
I tried using
SELECT * FROM fn_my_permissions('MySchemaName', 'SCHEMA')
but return is not what I need. For example, it lists permission SELECT, but not whether permission was granded, revoked, or denied. It is the latter I am interested about.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thank you.

I may be misunderstanding what you are asking for, but when I tested Rick's script, it seems to me that it returns more or less exactly what you are asking for. There is no place to plug in the permission - it lists all permissions denied or granted, see
the script below.
However, REVOKE is missing and will always be missing since REVOKE just removes whatever there used to be.
CREATE DATABASE listschema
go
USE listschema
go
CREATE SCHEMA TestSchema
go
CREATE USER TestUser WITHOUT LOGIN
go
GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA::TestSchema TO TestUser
DENY INSERT ON SCHEMA::TestSchema TO TestUser
go
SELECT state_desc, permission_name, 'ON', class_desc,
SCHEMA_NAME(major_id),
'TO', USER_NAME(grantee_principal_id)
FROM sys.database_permissions AS Perm
JOIN sys.database_principals AS Prin
ON Perm.major_ID = Prin.principal_id AND class_desc = 'SCHEMA'
WHERE major_id = SCHEMA_ID('TestSchema')
AND grantee_principal_id = user_id('TestUser')
--AND permission_name = 'SELECT'
go
USE tempdb
go
DROP DATABASE listschema
