Lines are 'blurred' over school co-location

Tynwald vote next month

A member of the Department of Education believes the lines have been 'blurred' in a difference of opinion over school co-location.

In September, St Thomas' Church of England primary school will move to the Scoill Vallajeelt site in Saddlestone where there is unused space.

The two schools will remain separate but will share a campus.

Around 400 people formally objected to the proposals, due to go before Tynwald next month, citing various grounds.

However, departmental member Ann Corlett MHK hopes common sense will prevail.
