WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 2ND MAY 2017

Question

What is deemed to be the current maximum capacity of Hautlieu School's sixth form; and what are the projections for sixth-form numbers at Hautlieu School for 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040 and 2045?

Answer

Sixth form includes Year 12 and Year 13 (Key Stage 5). It should be noted that forecasts for the period after the academic year 2033-34 relate to children who are not born yet and it is therefore not yet possible to predict numbers with precision. Fluctuations in the birth rate and inward migration will have an impact on the accuracy of the forecasts so far into the future.

Hautlieu school buildings can accommodate 850 students within Years 10 to 13. Overall numbers within Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 are managed in accordance with demographic fluctuations.

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 and has the discretion to place students in schools across the island in a way that both meets their education needs and aspirations and ensures the system is efficient and cost-effective.
