SCHOOL CHANGES STRUCTURE ED School changes structure Saltus Grammar School is to change its structure to bring it into line with other schools on the Island.
The move will allow students to go straight into the senior level without having to spend a year in transition at a middle school.
In addition, it will mean Saltus students enter IGCSE and GCSE exams a year earlier than present.
Headteacher Nigel Kermode said: "This move will allow students to sit the Saltus entrance exam one year earlier, at the conclusion of their primary years and at the point they would be entering middle school.
"The restructuring will bring Saltus into line with Government's primary to middle school transition pattern.'' FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE TOU Five star experience Five Elbow Beach Hotel employees have just returned from a stint working at a brand new five star hotel in Miami.
