Pupil numbers at Douglas high schools for discussion

Pupil numbers at two Douglas high schools which have been part of a catchment area debate will be discussed in the House of Keys tomorrow.

Douglas East MHK Clare Bettison will ask Education, Sport & Culture Minister, Graham Cregeen MHK, how many students were at St Ninians and Ballakermeen High School - broken down by year group - in each of the last ten years.

Miss Bettison also wants to know what the predicted numbers are for the next seven years with and without the proposed catchment area changes to Scoill Yn Jubilee.

The next Keys sitting gets underway on Tuesday at 10am.
