Island could have first post-coronavirus school in British Isles
It's important to learn lessons from the coronavirus pandemic when designing a new secondary school for the Isle of Man.
That's the view of education minister Dr Alex Allinson, who believes the replacement Castle Rushen High School could be the first school constructed in the British Isles post-Covid.
Work is underway on the design of the building, while construction on the playing fields could begin in the next month if Tynwald approves funding for the sporting facilities.
Dr Allinson says flexible teaching spaces could feature:
Yellow weather warning overnight for ice
MLC calls for 'wider conversation' on how constitutional changes are made
Foodbank 'run off feet' as donations decline
Fire crews respond to 'smoke and chemical smell' in Port St Mary
