All government run schools on the Isle of Man offer lessons in Manx Gaelic. 

That’s according to the Education, Sport and Culture Minister who says they’re available from Key Stage 2 onwards.

Graham Cregeen was quizzed on the topic by Garff MHK Daphne Caine who wanted to know more about the Manx language.

In a written Tynwald question he confirmed that 19 pupils took the GCSE equivalent in Manx in the school year 2017/18.

Of these three pupils received an A* and, six received an A and two received a B.

Two pupils took the A-Level equivalent recording one A* and one A grade.
