About Les Quennevais School

Les Quennevais School is an 11-16 secondary school based in the west of the Island of Jersey. We are fiercely proud of our high reputation and the significant contribution we make to Island life. Our students are outstanding ambassadors and highly valued.

Educationally, Jersey is in an unique position, following UK guidelines in matters of Curriculum and Teaching and Learning, but free from OFSTED, performance related pay and League Tables, thus allowing us as professionals, to PUT children and good teaching at the heart of what we do, MEASURING THE THINGS THAT MATTER AND MONITORING for continuous improvement.

As a school it is vital that we give our students the best possible foundations for their future lives, by ensuring that they will be happy and fulfilled, part of an engaging and successful learning environment where they will realise their potential, rise to the challenge and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Our school has a powerful sense of identity and purpose with a unique atmosphere: happy, friendly, united, successful, collaborative and forward thinking.

The ethos of our school is a major strength and is based on a set of shared and uncompromising values. We have exceedingly high expectations for learning and behaviour and as a result we are proud of the excellent relationships we forge with our students, parents and members of the community.

We place our students and their needs at the centre of everything we do. We pride ourselves on the deep levels of support and guidance we offer to our students and place equal emphasis on the importance of developing young people who have a clear sense of purpose and an active moral conscience. We expect our students to behave as responsible citizens who will make a positive difference in the society of today and of tomorrow.

The intrinsic aims of the school are based around the pursuit of excellence and enjoyment in every area of school life. We are ambitious for our children and the potential that each of them has as an individual learner. We recognise the importance of providing a quality curriculum, rich in depth, challenge and full of opportunities to excel and exceed expectations. Our curriculum needs to be one that our young people will actively engage in fully and contribute to. This must be underpinned by quality teaching, delivered by teachers who inspire, challenge and motivate and demonstrate an interest in our students in and beyond the classroom.

You only get one chance at a secondary school education. It has to matter and we want to make a difference to every child who comes to us. Our school is based on traditional values, with a forward thinking vision, driving school improvement forward. The world beyond school for this generation is ever changing and uncertain. What the future will look like is an unknown. The rapid pace of technological change means that many of our children will be working in jobs that we can’t even imagine and they will need to solve problems in the world that are yet to exist.

Our role is to ensure that each student leaves Les Quennevais School, fully equipped with the skills, the confidence and the qualifications they will need to succeed in an ever changing world.

We want their time with us to be full of memorable experiences that they can happily reflect on and draw upon, for many years to come. That is what makes our job so challenging and so rewarding because, as a school, we know we can make a difference to our children.

Headteacher

Mrs Sarah Hague
