Heads ask States for 'no undue delay' over education reform
SECONDARY SCHOOL head teachers have urged deputies to reach a solution on the future of education without undue delay.
In a joint statement from Grammar School head teacher Elizabeth Coffey, La Mare de Carteret head Vicky Godley, Les Beaucamps head Sophie Roughsedge, St Sampson's head Annabel Bolt and Martin Winward, the new head teacher at St Anne's School in Alderney, they warned any uncertainty could be unsettling for the community.
The Education Department announced on Tuesday that it wanted to scrap the 11-plus.
'The plans for secondary education outlined in the proposals clearly initiate significant change,' the statement read.
'We remain committed to further improving secondary education for young people across the Bailiwick and we will continue to ensure the students
in our respective schools are appropriately supported to achieve their potential through times of change.
'We are encouraged that the board of Education's recommended proposal means that no school site will face closure.'
