Scoill Vallajeelt move won't compromise religious input
St Thomas's will carry on as a Christian school if plans to move it to Scoill Vallajeelt in Saddlestone go ahead.
The idea, unveiled by the Department of Education and Children yesterday (Wed) - would see both schools occupy a campus-style site; so called 'co-location'.
St Thomas's building on Finch Road dates back to 1875 - but it's no longer seen as fit-for-purpose.
It's the Island's only C-of-E school, alongside King William's College and the Buchan, and has provided Christian education to pupils for over 140 years.
It's something Diocese spokesman Reverend, John Coldwell, says wouldn't change:
Sailings cancelled due to predicted gales
Warning for 'disorderly' parents attending schools
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
New board members sought for abattoir
Controversial local authority legislation debate deferred to end of March
