​Request

Apologies if this has occurred before but I have been unable to secure a definitive answer:

A

How much does the States of Jersey pay secondary schools per student, per annum?

B

In addition, does the fee paid by parents of students at Victoria College and Jersey College for Girls subsidise the States expenditure or act as a top-up? For example, if the States pay £6000 per year per student then does the tuition fee paid at Victoria College and Jersey College for Girls go on top of this amount?

Many thanks in advance.

Response

A

The total cost per pupil, known as the Age-weighted Pupil Unit (AWPU), allocated by the Education Department for 2016 was:​

SchoolsAWPU
Grainville£7,674
Haute Vallee£6,751
Hautlieu£6,903
Jersey College for Girls£3,025
Le Rocquier£6,104
Les Quennevais£6,115
Victoria College£3,073


The AWPU above is the average per pupil as at 1 Jan 2016, agreed prior to pay awards having been awarded.

B

The Education Department provides both Jersey College for Girls and Victoria College with an annual budget, the equivalent of 50 percent of what a States secondary school would receive.

Fees are charged by both Colleges to supplement the budget provided by the department; these fees are set by the school governing body each year and approved by the Minister for Education.
