WQ.149/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING
BY DEPUTY C.D . CURTIS OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 22nd APRIL 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 29th APRIL 2024
Question
“Will the Minister advise how many children classed as resident of Jersey, are being educated off Island, broken down by children under 11 years of age, 11 to 13 years of age, and above 13 years of age?”
Answer
CYPES do not hold this information, as we do not maintain “destinations” data for children who have left on-island education, with the exception of a small number of children in care who reside off-island. There are fourteen children in total, and their education is monitored closely by the Virtual School.
We collect pupil census information every term, which includes details of all children educated on island, and consequently we would be aware of children leaving the local education system, but we are unable to determine for all children if they have left the island altogether, or are attending boarding school, or if they leave to attend boarding school but their residency subsequently changes.
