Director of Education’s Statement on Transfers
Director of Education, Clare Browne, wishes to inform the general public that transfers will not be granted to parents/guardians making requests on behalf of Grade Six students, unless in unique circumstances.
Already, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Creative Industries is bombarded with requests for alternative secondary school placements following the release of results on Friday.
According to Mr. Browne, in the unique circumstances, the reasons for the requests must be compelling and will be carefully reviewed before a decision is made to grant or deny said request.
Further, requests must be made in writing to Director of Education, Clare Browne, Ministry of Education, Sports and Creative Industries, Government Office Complex, Queen Elizabeth Highway.
Decisions will be communicated to applicants via letters.
Appointments to meet with the Director of Education are not being allowed.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NO one else can go to PMS. The school is bursting at its seams. 186 students assigned!! NO more can hold. LOOK at the numbers assigned to these school…
Irene B Williams 37, Glanvilles 25, St Mary’s Centre30 and Pares 33. They all have small numbers. Take this into consideration with your transfers and the “unique” cases Those numbers are actually class sizes at schools like PMS and OCS.
