Mont Nicolle School has been reviewed as part of the Jersey Schools Review Framework. The full
report is available on the schools review website
Reviews, which take place every three years, aim to evaluate the school environment, the
behaviour and personal development of pupils, the effectiveness of the school’s leadership and the
standards of teaching, learning and achievement.
The review team was made up of four reviewers, who visited the school over two days in January.
During that time, they observed 19 lessons. They also spoke to groups of pupils and teachers, and
reviewed a sample of workbooks for English, mathematics, and some humanities subjects.
Headteacher of Mont Nicolle School, Lisa Paul, said: “I would like to thank the review team for their
professionalism during the review. It was a rigorous process that was highly supportive and
developmental for our school. I would also like to thank Mont Nicolle staff and children for
supporting the review.
“I welcome the recommendations provided, and as a team we will continue to work collaboratively
and effectively to improve our school, ensuring that all our pupils achieve their potential in a safe
and happy environment.”
The Jersey Schools Review Framework was piloted across Government schools from 2016 to 2019.
Each assessment is undertaken by an independent external lead reviewer, experienced in
conducting reviews in other jurisdictions, as well as a Senior Adviser from the Department for
Children, Young People, Education and Skills (CYPES) and senior school leaders currently working in
Jersey schools.
The review team speak with pupils, consult parents, meet with and survey staff, look at pupils’ work,
observe lessons and review school data.
Following each review, the school, parents and CYPES receive a short report of the findings which
will be available on the Jersey Schools Review Framework webpage, where parents and carers can
watch videos and read factsheets in English, Polish and Portuguese to find out more about the
process.
The full report is available on the schools review website.
