End of school exams are somdthing most of us will be familiar with. | :00:20. | :00:32. | |
Students in Guernsey have traditionally followed the same | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
The UK government has set out new plans for | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
Young people deserve an education system to compete with the best in | :00:42. | :00:57. | |
the world. We have gone to consultation and heard what we were | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
told. We can announce that we will have examinations that suit and | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
benefit all our students. Guernsey schools will | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
offer the new English GCSEs with and the normal A*`G grades will be | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
scrapped, But they will also offer | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
other options, including | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
GCSEs from Wales and Ireland, which are similar to those GCSE | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
exams taken now, and other accredited | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
vocational qualifications. There is a whole range, lots and | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
lots of different types of qualifications, and it is about | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
getting that fit right, bec`use of we just chose to go the route of | :01:41. | :01:44. | |

of this year's exams now finished, this is the moment most students | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Whilst the schools themselvds think how to adapt to the ndw system | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Guernsey's Heather Watson started her Wimbledon campaign in fhne style | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
today, beating the Croatian Ajla Tomljanovic in two sets. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Heather crashed out of the competition | :02:23. | :02:23. | |
This year, she has the second week in her sights. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Court Number Three might not be the largest show court at Whmbledon, | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
but most of the 2,000 fans were here to cheer on Heather Watson | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Her first round opponent was, Croatian Aija Tomljanovic, who is | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
in good form: she reached the final of last weeks Aegon International. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
But Watson is full of confidence too, having | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
beaten a top 20 player for the first time at the same tournament. | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
It started off well for Watson, serving well and taking her chances. | :03:03. | :03:18. | |
That set the mood for the British number one as she broke serve again. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
What a performance from Heather Watson. | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
The match lasted just over an hour, ghving | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
the home crowd with their union and Guernsey flags plenty to cheer. | :03:34. | :03:44. | |
I feel I have played a lot of matches, I have had a lot of wins, I | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
have one two tournaments thhs year so far and I am pleased with my form | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
and wants to keep it going. I love Court three. I think I was the first | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
match to play on it a few ydars ago. The crowd was brilliant tod`y, so | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
loud. Sometimes they are a bit quieter but today was good, the | :04:08. | :04:08. | |
louder the better for me. An artificial pitch will bd laid at | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
Jersey's Springfield Stadiul after a The initial application | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
for a so`called 3G surface was rejected last month, but thdn | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
the Planning Minister steppdd in, Around 50 games are held | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
at Springfield Stadium everx season, and it also hosts | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
the Muratti Vase Final. But all this action takes its | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
toll on the grass surface. As you can see these are thd | :04:28. | :04:41. | |
goalmouth areas, and there hs one at the other end, and around the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
perimeter area, this is what is happening with the pitch whdn it is | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
only being played on 50 timds. That's why the Jersey Footb`ll | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
Association want to replace this grass pitch with an artifichal one, | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
so more matches can be playdd. We have plans to have the youth | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
clubs, primary schools, using this during the day, and sports clubs | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
using it in the night including the league clubs if they wish, `nd on | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
the weekend we will have back`to`back games. | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
But their application was rdjected by the Planning Applications Panel | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
over concerns not about the pitch, but about | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
Now the planning minister h`s stepped | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
in, and told the JFA to plax on as long as his concerns are met | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
I have put in a planning condition to ensure that informal use of the | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
pictures taken into account as well as greater opportunities for | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
sporting clubs as well. The other issue I have sorted is that there | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
will be a whole host of othdr landscaping issues. What was | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
proposed was fairly substandard in some respects. | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
The minister has also decided to keep the chhldren's | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
And while the fence that protects the artificial pitch may stop ad hoc | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
kick`arounds, there'll be m`ny more football matches here. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
The 3G pitch should be readx for the Island Games next ydar. | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
That's it from me. I'm back at 6:30pm tomorrow. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
I'll leave you with David Braine and the weather. | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
