Parents asked to register their children for school

DEC planning for next academic year

Parents are being urged to register their children for school, to allow education chiefs to plan accordingly.

Any pupil turning five on or after 1 September needs to be admitted to reception classes at the beginning of each academic year.

Geoff Moorcroft is the Isle of Man Government's director of education.

He says failing to register can have an impact on the allocation of resources.
