Face-to-face classes will be held at Christ Church Foundation School from tomorrow.

A final inspection was made today by a Ministry- led team, which included, members of the school’s Board of Management, the Principal and members of the teachers’ Unions.

They examined the completeness of work conducted and the cleanliness of those areas.

At the conclusion of the inspection, all parties agreed to return to the classroom.

A visit there today by officials revealed a noxious odour which forced the early closure of the school on Thursday, September 19. Tests are being done to identify the source of that odour.

A full statement from the Ministry of Education follows:

“The Christ Church Foundation School has been approved to open for face-to-face classes from Monday, September 23, 2024.
