Education chief to address concerns
Le Rocquier School
The school's management team was described as "dysfunctional"
Jersey's education president says he is willing to meet parents of pupils of a secondary school criticised in a report to discuss how to improve it.

The report, by UK schools inspector Kathie Bull, described the management team at Le Rocquier as "dysfunctional".

Headteacher Richard Quenault resigned, but he denied his decision had anything to do with the report.

Senator Mike Vibert, who is president of the Education, Sport and Culture Committee, said he would be happy to discuss the school's problems with parents.

"We are in the process of appointing a new head and I would like to get that appointment out of the way first," said Senator Vibert.

"We will be talking about what the new head wants to do and how he sees it as well.

"We have drawn up a plan for improvements at Le Rocquier, but if any parents want to contact me or meet me, then that's fine."

Meanwhile, Ms Bull is to address States politicians early next month to discuss her report, which criticised children's services in Jersey.

She said services were failing vulnerable children, especially those in care.

Immediate action was taken by the Health and Social Services Committee with regard to security at children's homes.

Ms Bull will give a lunchtime presentation to politicians during the States sitting on 8 April.

Senator Vibert said politicians would have the chance to ask questions.
