The secondary schools in the tables below are allocated based on multiples of 25 but can be exceeded by one child per 25 specifically for children living in catchment (this is referred to as ‘stretch capacity’).

The number of forms is agreed with the Head teacher at Year 7 once the number of children living in catchment is known. The criteria for out of catchment requests is agreed annually, per year group, by the Children, Young People, Education and Skills leadership team and taken into account when in year places are allocated. The number of available places below has been calculated by multiplying the number of form groups in each year group by 26 places or where a cap has been applied to a particular year group. This is the operational capacity for each school not the physical capacity as resources could be increased to meet demand.

Please note that Hautlieu accepts students from Year 10 to Year 13 and is an academically selective school.

Jersey College for Girls and Victoria College have their own individual admissions policies. They are both fee-paying and academically selective schools who cater for students from Year 7 to Year 13.

The tables below show the operational capacity for each school.

Highlands College does not operate an upper or lower capacity limit. The total number of students aged 16 to 18 year olds attending Highlands College for the last three years is below.

H

The new Les Quennevais School building will have a maximum capacity of 850 pupils from September 2020.

I

The figures above represent all schools in Jersey including the private schools Beaulieu, De La Salle, FCJ, Helvetia, St Christopher’s, St George’s and St Michael’s.

J

As of June 2019 there are 245 available places in Grainville, Haute Vallée, Le Rocquier and Les Quennevais School for pupils joining year groups 7 to 11 in September 2019. The actual number of available places will be known at the end of September 2019 once the school census data is available (this is because the total will include all students leaving and arriving in Jersey between now and then).
