£50m school set for green light
Guernsey's new £50m secondary school is set to be given the final go-ahead when the States meet on Wednesday.

The new school will have 720 places and represents a major re-organisation of Guernsey's education system.

It will replace St Sampson's secondary school, and help prepare for the redrafting of catchment areas when St Peter Port school shuts.

A separate special needs school will be built at the same site, taking pupils at Mont Varouf and Oakdale.

Members will be asked to give the go-ahead for building to start in the summer.

If they do, the school is expected to open in September 2007.
