Vauvert Year 6 pupils to head to Grammar from 2021
A REVIEW of whether the two-school model is best for Guernsey’s secondary education has meant changes have been made to which schools Year 6 pupils will move in September 2021.
Previous arrangements needed updating after the review began and Education has now released information on which secondary schools the incoming Year 6 students will go to, based on their catchment area.
Destination secondary schools will remain the same as they were in 2019 and 2020 for all but one of the island’s primary schools.
Pupils at Vauvert Primary will now feed into the Grammar School from 2021, rather than La Mare de Carteret.
Education decided to make the change to allow for a more even distribution of students across the four secondary school sites, to ensure class sizes did not run over capacity at one school while another had a very small year group.
Parents were written to earlier in the week explaining the update and they will still be able to submit a request if they wish their child to attend a secondary school other than the one linked to their primary school to, for example, allow siblings to go to school together.
