Island could have first post-coronavirus school in British Isles
It's important to learn lessons from the coronavirus pandemic when designing a new secondary school for the Isle of Man.
That's the view of education minister Dr Alex Allinson, who believes the replacement Castle Rushen High School could be the first school constructed in the British Isles post-Covid.
Work is underway on the design of the building, while construction on the playing fields could begin in the next month if Tynwald approves funding for the sporting facilities.
Dr Allinson says flexible teaching spaces could feature:
Tynwald approves changes to sitting schedule, including half-term breaks and revised start dates
Plea to Manx parents to check meningitis vaccination status
Bus dispute ‘a considerable way apart’ as talks continue, says infrastructure minister
Noble's bed capacity exceeding industry-recognised 'safe levels'
