About our school
We are more than just a school. We are a thriving community of learners and visionaries committed to inspiring our children to reach their highest potential while shaping bright futures for them. Our steadfast commitment to educational excellence is realised through our compassionate approach to learning, where we engage with children’s hearts, encourage their curiosity and ignite their potential.
Situated in 35 acres of picturesque grounds and woodlands in St Peter, our co-educational and non-selective school provides a well-rounded and enriching experience and education. Our outstanding facilities empower each child to explore their interests, grow their strengths and overcome their challenges with guidance, support and encouragement.
The school also founded the Jersey Educational Trust 2015 (JET2015), a registered charity whose mission is to enhance access to high-quality education in Jersey for pupils who would not otherwise be able to attend.
Our ethos and values
Our four core values – Kindness, Resilience, Achievement and Responsibility – form the foundation of our close-knit, nurturing community and guide everything that we do, from the way that we teach through to the way that we engage with our Island community. We take pride in cultivating a warm and inclusive environment that feels like a second family. Our school community is diverse and open, and our strong partnership with families allows us to truly know and support each child in our care. Our students graduate as compassionate, self-assured citizens of the world, surrounded by a supportive network, academically and emotionally prepared for their next steps.
