Welcome. Prince Andrew School is St Helena's community school. It provides education for all St Helena's secondary aged students (11 to 18) along with a number of day-release, further and community education programs.
The school was opened in 1989 and allowed the amalgamation of the island's local secondary schools onto one site. The school building is one of the largest on the island and caters for the academic, vocational and sporting needs of the student body. Students with learning difficulties are integrated into main school activities and also provided with specialist education and support at the school's learning support centre, Olive Cottage.
The student body is divided into three groups: lower school (Years 7 to 9), upper school (Years 10 and 11) and post-compulsory (Years 12 and 13). Each year group is further divided into four house groups: Cavendish, Dutton, Mundens and Jenkins. Students are assigned to a house in Year 7 in which they remain until leaving. The house groups allow administrative division and add a focus for competitive activities.
Year 7 to 9 study a general curriculum based on the UK National curriculum and Standard Attainment Tests (SATS) for English, Maths and Science are taken in Year 9. Years 10 and 11 allow options (currently 4 including a science) to be selected along with compulsory English, Maths, PE and PHSE&C (Personal Health and Social Education & Citizenship). Typically options are studied at UK GCSE, international GCSE or local achievement levels. The school has also recently introduced an ASDAN programme which allows the accumulation of credits toward a final award.
Post compulsory aged students opt for either academic or vocational courses. The academic students opt for a combination of additional GCSEs, AS and A2 level subjects. Vocational students are trained to local certification level, courses are structured to be mainly school based in the first year and placement based in the final year.
Examined courses offered by the school are also open to the public on a part time basis. Further education is provided at evening classes. The school also hosts a community education programme.
Falling student rolls and general population attrition from the island makes the provision of a wide curriculum one of the major challenges the school has.
