DEC fix on way for Onchan anomaly
School catchment areas around the Island are going to be reviewed following what's been described as an anomaly in Onchan.
It's emerged that 75 reception children are due to start at Onchan Primary School in September - with just 29 pupils registered for nearby Ashley Hill.
The Department of Education and Children has now written to parents asking if they would like to move their children to Ashley Hill to make more effective use of the two schools.
Minister Graham Cregeen says they will be looking at the whole Island in time - but Onchan with immediate effect:
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
