Plans to sets clear expectations for children's progress with reading and writing
All primary schools on the Isle of Man have adopted a new way to assess English.
The scheme, which has been piloted over the past 12 months, sets clear expectations for children's progress with reading and writing.
It aims to be rolled out in secondary schools as well by September next year.
Education Minister, Daphne Caine, admits standards previously haven't been where they'd like them to be:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Work to tackle problems taking longer than anticipated
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Ballaugh, Bride, Garff and Jurby Commissioners all seeking additional members
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
