The number of students entered for A levels in each school is relatively small (below 100) and results inevitably vary depending on the strength of the year group. In 2010, students received awards in almost 40 separate titles ranging from Physics to Applied Business Studies. Apart from General Studies, the subjects recording the most entries were History, English Literature, Maths, Geography and Biology. Other subjects with more than 40 entries included Art, Business Studies, English Language, Psychology and Sociology.		The total number of A Level (or equivalent) entries in 2010 was over 1260.

Recently refurbished and re-launched, it is basically a mobile classroom containing 23 wireless iMac computers with flat screens and an electronic whiteboard. When the bus arrives at a school it connects to the school’s own network so pupils’ existing work can be accessed and their work saved back onto the school server. At the same time as delivering exemplary lessons to pupils, teachers receive the very latest training while on board.		: To the general public on the Island, perhaps the most visible aspect of the ICT initiatives is the Manx Telecomputer Bus, which is sponsored by Manx Telecom and is the Department's innovative approach to delivering the very latest technology to schools across the Island.

			'''More details'''

			Education is compulsory between the ages of five and 16 and is offered at the Department of Education and Children’s 35 primary schools and five secondary schools.

			There are 6,566 pupils in primary schools (including nursery) and 5,671 11 to 18 year olds in secondary schools (summer term 2011).

			The Department of Education and Children also operates a number of pre-school units for children aged four and offers places for younger children in classes for five-year-olds where space permits (see under Early Years).

			The majority of 16-year-olds continue in education, either in their school’s sixth form or at the Isle of Man College.

			It is possible to study for further and higher education qualifications locally via the Isle of Man College and the Isle of Man International Business School.

			Although parts of the education system mirror those offered in the UK, the Isle of Man has its own curriculum, Essentials for Learning. This requires schools to focus not only on academic achievement but also to ensure children develop a wide range of social and interpersonal skills and the ability to be resilient, reflective and resourceful learners.

			Teachers are continually assessing and monitoring the progress children make and use that information to plan their next steps in learning. Because of this continuous process of assessment there is no need for external testing until children reach Key Stage 4.

			In Key Stages 4 and 5 children are able to access the normal range of external qualifications, such as GCSE and A Level, which are offered in UK schools.

			Public examinations at age 16 are the main focus of achievements for the majority of pupils. These mostly take the form of GCSEs but many pupils also take vocational qualifications.

			The total number of A Level (or equivalent) entries in 2010 was over 1260. A further 235 entries were for AS Levels (worth 0.5 of an A Level). The number of students entered for A levels in each school is relatively small (below 100) and results inevitably vary depending on the strength of the year group. In 2010, students received awards in almost 40 separate titles ranging from Physics to Applied Business Studies. Apart from General Studies, the subjects recording the most entries were History, English Literature, Maths, Geography and Biology.
