Grades aren't everything, says advisor
The School Improvement Advisor has suggested pupils get a more rounded education on the Isle of Man than across the water.
Young people Island-wide head back to school today, with the new academic year getting underway.
Joel Smith says grades and results aren't necessarily the be-all and end-all for the Department of Education, Sport and Culture, which could differ from approaches elsewhere:
Isle of Man records lowest March rainfall since 1953
Into the top 20 driest months on record
Fire service warns of the dangers of wildfires
Disposable barbecues, cigarettes and glass bottles are common culprits
Post Office to halt non-postal services at Governor’s Hill store
Current sub-Post Office counter will close on 23 April 2025
Lord Street scheme WILL still go ahead
