Within her 'Rule 14' questions, which have to be answered in written form, the former member of the previous ESC committee challenged the current political board to give more information than was publicly available.

She wanted to know what steps the Committee is taking to ensure continuity of the teaching staff during the transition period, for those students who will be taking their GCSEs & A levels when the island changes to the 'two school model' and what measures will be in place to ensure consistency in 6th form education across the two sites.

ESC admitted that will be a challenge, but said "consistency in quality is one of the objectives of the ‘one school – two colleges’ model agreed by the States in January 2018. In this model secondary education will be delivered in two colleges of a similar size rather than in four schools of vastly different sizes.

"At each college the years preceding the sixth forms will be of a similar size and most sixth form subjects will be offered in both colleges. For these and other reasons there is nothing to suggest that there will be great swings annually in the number of students in the sixth forms at each college."

ESC says, the Executive Head Teacher, "working with her senior leaders, will be ideally placed to ensure that teaching and learning are of the same high standard across the one school and two colleges."

Deputy Dudley Owen also wanted to know what 'continuous professional development and training' will be available to teachers under the new model of secondary education. ESC refused, saying that; "no previous Committee has published the details of continuous professional development opportunities available to teachers and this Committee does not plan to begin publishing them."

With continued questions over when the new schools will be open, she also asked how the public can be sure the planned redevelopments will happen by 2022, and when those plans will be released publicly.

ESC confirmed that will happen in May this year, while the committee says it is liaising with the Development and Planning Authority over the potential building work needed.

ESC confirmed that a number of consultants have been employed on a temporary basis to help with the transformation project.

Deputy Dudley Owen asked how much that is costing and was told each of the six people on a fixed term contract are not consultants, but their wages are being paid out of the additional funds given to ESC to pursue the two-school model, with £306,000 going on their wages so far.
