Forecasts for student numbers at Les Quennevais School were updated as part of the recent planning inquiry and remain current. These are shown below.

Forecasts for the period after the academic year 2027-28 relate to children who are not born yet and it is therefore not possible to predict numbers with the same level of accuracy. The Education Department continuously monitors student numbers and demographics and updates its figures regularly. It should also

be noted that the Education Department allocates all school places, not the school themselves, and is therefore able to place students in schools across the island in a way that ensures the system overall is efficient and cost-effective and places are filled appropriately.
