School campus scheme offers 'plenty more room'
Pupils at St Thomas' School in Douglas are moving to a better learning environment at Scoill Vallajeelt - so says the Island's Education minister Graham Cregeen.
His department yesterday (Wed 14) announced it would 'co-locate' the Church of England school to Vallajeelt - both will operate from the same buildings, but independently of each other.
Mr Cregeen says there's more than enough room at the Saddlestone site for both sets of students, with capacity for 350 schoolchildren.
He told Manx Radio the change made sense as it was clear St Thomas' was outdated:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
