Sobre JCP

Jersey College Prep School is a Government of Jersey fee-paying primary school, which serves families across an island wide catchment. There is a three form, co-educational, non-selective provision starting in Reception and throughout Key Stage 1. At the end of Key Stage 1 (5-7yrs), most boys transfer to Victoria College Prep and a two form entry provision remains for the girls in Key Stage 2 (7-11yrs). Pupils gain places into Reception through a ballot system. There is a further opportunity for pupils to join the school in Year 3, through a selective admissions process. 

Although we are a school in our own right, we also operate as ‘One College’ with Jersey College for Girls (JCG) in the sharing of facilities and administration, as well as working closely with Victoria College Preparatory School (VCP) for transition purposes for our boys at the end of Year 2. 

We have high teacher expectations and, with strong parental support, our children achieve the best standards possible both in the academic and pastoral areas of the curriculum, preparing them for transfer to VCP (for boys at age 7) and to JCG (for girls at age 11).

At Jersey College Prep, we are committed to delivering an exceptional education within a caring and inclusive environment, ensuring every child is valued and supported. Our curriculum blends academic rigor with creativity, offering students a stimulating environment where they can explore their full potential. What makes JCP unique is our focus on holistic development—combining intellectual challenge with character-building experiences. With state-of-the-art facilities, a rich extracurricular program, and strong pastoral care, we prepare students to thrive both academically and personally.

Our core values—Aspire, Inquire, Excel, and Belong—guide our students’ journey, fostering independence, curiosity, and a love of learning. We believe in preparing children not just for school, but for life, by nurturing their individual strengths and encouraging them to contribute positively to their community. Our extensive extracurricular offerings, ranging from sports to the arts, provide opportunities for leadership, teamwork, and personal growth.

JCP’s strong emphasis on inquiry-based learning, combined with a commitment to innovation, allows our students to develop key skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and resilience. Our passionate, dedicated staff inspire a love of learning, ensuring that every child leaves JCP not only with academic success but with the confidence and character to excel in the wider world.

With our close-knit community, modern facilities, and commitment to nurturing every individual, Jersey College Prep offers an education that goes beyond the classroom, preparing students for the challenges and opportunities of the future. We invite you to be part of this vibrant and dynamic learning journey.
