Haute Vallée School serves the centre of the Island, and a key focus is on building community and strong partnerships with local organisations and businesses. We value and build upon the partnership between school and home. Parents are expected to work closely with us through regular meetings and communication with the school.  

The taught curriculum is innovative and aims to meet the needs of all abilities. Alongside the academic curriculum we also provide a wealth of extra-curricular experiences and activities, supporting students to develop skills to become life-long learners. Most of our students’ progress to Higher Education at 16, either to study A-Levels, the International Baccalaureate or Vocational route. A small number enter employment. 

 The curriculum during Key Stage 3 (Years 7-8) covers all the core and foundation subjects required by the Jersey Curriculum. We offer a three-year Key Stage 4 (Years 9-11) the curriculum is significantly broadened to give a choice of optional subjects which includes GCSE and BTEC and we are immensely proud of our strong relationship with Highlands College where students access a range of vocational, and work-related qualifications.  

The school year always ends with a week of activities at the end of the Summer Term, providing students with exciting educational visits to the UK and Europe, as well as a range of activities on-island. These experiences give students the opportunity to learn about new cultures and histories, whilst developing their leadership and teamwork skills.  

We provide opportunities for students to become involved in the school’s strategic direction through form, year, and student council membership. In Year 11, Student Ambassadors will take on considerable responsibilities and contribute more directly to the running of the school and planning of fund-raising activities and sports events.  

We have an outstanding reputation for providing effective support to all students, ensuring they make substantial progress with their learning. We are nonselective, and we work effectively to support the needs of all learners. Our staff work closely with students to improve self-esteem and build positive social and behavioural skills. The Learning Support Department delivers a programme of structured support to meet the individual and specific learning needs of students on the inclusion register.  

We insist on the highest standards of behaviour, and we expect all students to set ambitious personal goals, to develop their individual strengths and talents and, most importantly, to enjoy learning. Our classrooms are calm, and full of enthusiastic learners. We are a happy school; we take a collective pride in our achievements, and we will ensure that all stakeholders can contribute fully to the Haute Vallée Community
