Victoria College has been reviewed as part of the Jersey Schools Review Framework (JSRF).
A total of eight reviewers, led by an experienced off-Island reviewer, visited the school between 5-7
March. They observed teaching and learning, scrutinised samples of work, held discussions with
members of the governing body, senior and middle leaders, and examined departmental plans and
behaviour and safeguarding records.
The views of staff and parents were also considered through surveys conducted specifically for this
review.
Headteacher of Victoria College, Dr Gareth Hughes said: “We are hugely proud that the review
recognises the great strides in recent years for Victoria College to be known for more than high
academic results. Also, that pupils are experiencing an environment that is more orderly, accepting
of difference, and focused on kindness and respect. Whilst school leaders witness this shift on a daily
basis it is fantastic that an independent review has recognised and celebrated it.
“I am personally delighted that our academic outcomes, co-curricular and enrichment opportunities,
and our continued journey towards an inclusive environment, were seen as strengths within our
holistic educational provision, and that our values of respect, resilience and aspiration were
recognised as being woven explicitly through all aspects of school life.
“My leadership team and I would like to thank every member of the community for their
commitment to making Victoria College an exciting place to learn and grow for our students, and a
rewarding place to teach and work for our staff.
“We are grateful for a set of considered recommendations from the review, and these will be at the
forefront of our school development planning going forward.”
