Consultation on plans to admit girls into Victoria College sixth form

Islanders' views are wanted on plans from the Board of Governors at Victoria College to admit girls into their sixth form.

 

A consultation is needed under the Education (Jersey) Law 1999 before any decision can be made.

Education and Lifelong Learning Minister, Deputy Catherine Curtis, is asking anyone with an interest in Jersey's education system to read the consultation and share their views.

The thoughts of students, parents, staff, governors, and the wider community are wanted.

An anonymous parents' survey, asking if it should go co-ed at A Level, was launched in the summer.

A letter to families of students at the school says co-ed sixth forms can help develop inter-personnel skills and are 'a more representative social environment'.

This new consultation is also asking whether Jersey families should have the option of a fee-paying co-ed school from primary through to sixth form.

It's open until 4 January 2027.
