SAMARÈS School will remain closed for the rest of the week because of damage caused by Storm Ciarán.
And Hautlieu School will also be closed until tomorrow after sustaining damage to its roof. Home learning plans have been put in place for students.
Meanwhile, the Children and Education’s Minister has praised those who have contributed to the “huge and dedicated effort” to reopen schools hit by the storm.
Schools, the Education Department and Jersey Property Holdings have been working together so that safe opening can go ahead as soon as possible.
At Samarès School, the Early Years areas were safe to use from yesterday.
There is extensive damage to the site, and the rest of the school will not be in use until Monday, with a possibility of Friday opening this week if repairs can be completed more quickly.
Samarès School has put together plans to provide some face-to-face learning for all pupils for this week. Home learning will also be provided, and details for individual classes have been communicated to parents.
Hautlieu School students will continue with home learning today, following a site inspection.
It is hoped that Hautlieu will be able to reopen tomorrow, depending on repair works, after the school suffered substantial damage to its roof.
Children’s and Education Minister Inna Gardiner said she was “hugely grateful to all who have worked so hard following the unprecedented events of the last few days to ensure that our schools can open safely”.
She continued: “It has been a huge task and one which has been very well done, with lots of different people involved. Our school communities are strong and the work to ensure the safe opening of the three schools which had to close has been a huge and dedicated effort.
“The safety of all children, young people and staff within the school communities must be our priority.”
Victoria College, which had been closed on Monday, was able to reopen yesterday.
