History

[edit]

The present school building, which replaced an older building, was opened to students on 29 February 2006.[4]

Academic performance

[edit]

In 2011 28% of pupils achieved A* - C GCSE in five subjects, compared to 58% in all Jersey schools and 53% for all UK schools.[5] Some other Jersey schools, such as Grainville School, also performed poorly that year.[5] Other independent schools in Jersey performed much better.[5]
