Jersey College for Girls is a fee paying school located on the outskirts of St. Helier in Jersey (Channel Islands). The Jersey Ladies’ College, as the school was first called, opened on 20th September 1880. Its current facilities on Mont Millais were officially opened by Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II in 2001.
We are an academic and compassionate girls' school currently catering for 761 students aged between 11 and 18, and we offer education up to and including A-levels. Our students have many opportunities to explore and enjoy life beyond our safe walls. In addition to traditional school pastimes, such as sport and drama, we have access to all the island has to offer, both on land and sea as well as offering some truly incredible programmes, such as piloting and finance.
Our College specialist facilities include science, drama, music, textiles, design technology and art. We have a well-equipped sports complex including an astro pitch, tennis and netball courts, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a sport hall, a cardio vascular gym, a climbing wall and a dance studio.
Our students achieve highly, and their results are the best in the island. Last year 40.1% of students achieved A*/A at A level and 64.0% achieved 9-7 at GCSE.
