Three Ballakermeen year groups to miss end of term

Years 11, 12 and 13 asked to stay at home on Thursday and Friday

Three year groups at one of the Island's secondary schools will have to stay at home for the final two days of term due to staff shortages.

Ballakermeen High School is asking students in years 11, 12 and 13 not to attend school on Thursday and Friday.

Last week, the school warned year 10 could also be affected, but it now says staffing levels are not as low as first feared, so pupils in year 10 should still attend.

Schools are due to close for the Christmas holiday on Friday.
