We are a 4–18 College comprising Jersey College for Girls and Jersey College Prep; we are co-educational in Key Stage 1, and all girls from Key Stages 2–5. Ours 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 20 September 1880.
We are an academic and compassionate college currently catering for 1,140 students aged between 4 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’s specialist facilities include Science, Drama, Music, Textiles, Design Technology and Art. We have a well-equipped sports complex including an Astroturf 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 on the island. Last year, 72.2% of students achieved A*/B at A level and 63.7% achieved 9–7 at GCSE.
Admission.
Year 7 entry – Students are not invited to take an entrance examination. The decision for admission is based on the primary school's reference, including recently sat CATs data, and the student’s attitude to learning.
Years 8–11 entry – Applicants are placed on a waiting list for testing. When a place becomes available, they will be contacted and invited to sit English and Maths entrance papers.
Sixth Form – Normally 5 grade 9–6 passes at GCSE, which must include English and Maths at Grade 5 or above, with a Grade 6 in subjects (or related subjects) that students wish to study at A level. Specific criteria is applied to certain subjects.
Jersey College Preparatory takes 44 girls and 28 boys in Reception each year. These children are organised into 3 classes of 24. JCP usually offers 5 additional places for girls from other primary schools to start at the beginning of Key Stage 2 every year. Places are gained through an assessment process, which will include information from the pupil's current school. Students are expected to be achieving age-related expectation or above.
