Better results will follow 'when La Mare is rebuilt'

RESULTS at La Mare de Carteret High will improve if and when its long-awaited rebuild is finished, the Education minister claimed.

The pledge yesterday by minister Robert Sillars was backed by other education experts.

However, they expected head teacher Vicky Godley to turn around this year's poor GCSE results before the completion of a new school, which it is hoped will begin in 2015.

Deputy Sillars, pictured, said he hoped the new facility could be opened in 2018, which would in turn be a factor in bringing higher grades.

'We, as an Education board and as the community of Guernsey, should be determined to give them the same advantages as the pupils at St Sampson's High, Les Beaucamps and the Grammar School,' he said.
