    Dear Parents, Wednesday 6th January 2021 Re: Closure of Schools due to Coronavirus We would like to thank you all for your patience at this difficult time. As I am sure you heard yesterday the Chief Minister ordered the closure of most schools for most pupils on the Isle of Man from the end of school today. We know that parents/carers will seek to keep their children safe by keeping them at home and will follow the Government’s advice. We very much appreciate your support in this and know that, if we all work together, we have the best chance of reducing the spread of Covid-19. The Government has asked parents to keep their children at home wherever possible, and asked schools to remain open only for those children who are designated as ‘vulnerable’ or are the children of ‘key workers’. It is important to understand that: • If it is possible for children to stay at home then they should. • Parents/carers should also do all they can to ensure children are not mixing socially in a way that could spread the virus. They should observe the same social distancing principles as adults. • Many parents who are key workers may be able to ensure their child is kept at home. Every child who can be safely at home should be. • The fewer children making the journey to school and the fewer children in educational settings the lower the risk that the virus can spread and infect vulnerable individuals in wider society. • Parents can choose to keep children away from school without any concern of repercussion.

    Secondary Teacher All Island Secondary Schools, Department of Education, Sport and Culture Applications are invited from qualified Secondary teachers for vacant positions when they arise in any of our schools. Playing a key role in the lives of young people, a teacher is both facilitator and enabler. Secondary teachers will develop a child’s enthusiasm for learning by engaging minds and building positive relationships, whilst ensuring they are ready for future challenges, both in life and the workplace. Island schools offer a range of courses at KS4 in order to meet the needs of all learners. These include IGCSE, WJEC, BTEC, SQA courses as well as other applied learning qualifications. At KS5 schools deliver a range of A Level and some BTEC Level 3 qualifications. Schools on the Isle of Man are not subject to Ofted inspections and there are no league tables. Instead, all schools (both Primary and Secondary) undertake School Self Review and Evaluation against a common framework and their judgements are then quality assured. Responsibilities Demonstrate high standards of teaching Create positive learning environments Raise standards of student achievement through a focus on learning Work as part of a team to achieve positive outcomes for all learners Grow and develop professionally Take responsibility for monitoring and supporting students’ learning First point of contact between school and parents Create positive learning environments Employ a range of innovative, creative approaches (including the use of ICT) to support Qualifications, Experience and Skills Qualified Teacher Status Subject Teaching Qualification Experience of classroom teaching Knowledge of the curriculum in the subject area Enthusiasm for teaching Creative and innovative practice, including the use of ICT Applications from both experienced and Newly Qualified Teachers are welcome.

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. A Brief History of the Cornish Language, its Revival and its Current Status Siarl Ferdinand, University of Wales Trinity Saint David Abstract Despite being dormant during the nineteenth century, the Cornish language has been recently recognised by the British Government as a living regional language after a long period of revival. The first part of this paper discusses the history of traditional Cornish and the reasons for its decline and dismissal. The second part offers an overview of the revival movement since its beginnings in 1904 and analyses the current situation of the language in all possible domains. Keywords Cornish, Kernewek, language shift, language revitalization, linguistic background, Celtic. Overview of Historical Background The Cornish language, unlike the Anglo-Cornish dialect, which is an English dialect spoken in Cornwall, is one of the three living members of the Brythonic family, the other two being Welsh and Breton. The appearance of Cornish as a distinct language dates to about 600 AD as a result of the evolution of the Brythonic language spoken in the south-western region of Great Britain.

  • The Lost Coin of ^Thelred Ii from Rushen Abbey, Isle Of
    SHORT ARTICLES AND NOTES THE LOST COIN OF ^THELRED II FROM RUSHEN ABBEY, ISLE OF MAN JAMES GRAHAM-CAMPBELL STUDENTS of the Viking Age in the Isle of Man owe a particular debt to Kristin Bornholdt Collins for the great quantity of archival and antiquarian information that she assembled during the research for her two-volume PhD thesis, entitled Viking-Age Coin Finds from the Isle of Man: a Study of Coin Circulation, Production and Concepts of Wealth (University of Cambridge, 2003). Its accompanying 'Corpus of Viking-Age Coin Hoards from the Isle of Man', in Vol. 2, contains a list of the eight 'Single Coin Finds: Viking Age', which were known to her at the time.1 Five of these are relatively recent finds, all of which were excavated on St Patrick's Isle, Peel, between 1984 and 1986,2 but the other three were discovered during the nineteenth century. One is the well-known ninth-century Frisian imitation of a gold solidus of Louis the Pious, found in Maughold parish churchyard in 1884, and now in the Manx Museum,3 but the other two are lost coins, both identified on discovery as being of /Ethelred II (978-1016). One (said to have been of gold) was found, c.l830, in levelling a mound at the farm of Gordon, Patrick,4 and the other (first mentioned in 1869) was found 'in the garden of Rushen Abbey' ,5 There exists, however, one further nineteenth-century reference to another lost coin of /Ethelred II having been found on Man, 'in the north of the Island': this is noted by Dr Oswald, in 1860 (together with that from Gordon), as also being of
