The Department of Education and Children says it hopes to avoid making any teachers redundant as it scraps stand-alone nurture groups.
In future, the groups – which support children with certain special needs – will be replaced by what the DEC calls a “whole-school” approach led by support staff.
Three secondary schools and six primaries will be affected, along with 11 teaching posts.
Department Chief Executive Stuart Dobson explained what changes will be made:
Bed shortages at Noble's are 'no threat' to TT 2026
Updates planned to beneficial ownership framework
Commissioners say residents left in 'void' over plans for onshore windfarm
Charity ball in Douglas to support air ambulance and neonatal care
