Haute Vallée School is a secondary school with 550 students owned and operated by the States of Jersey, and located in the parish of St Helier in Jersey.[3]

Stuart Hughes was appointed headteacher in 2017.[4]

History

The school was opened in 1998[5]

Academic performance

In 2011 18% of pupils achieved A* - C GCSE in five subjects, compared to 58% in all Jersey schools and 53% for all UK schools.[6] The figure for 2010 was 20%.[6] Some other Jersey schools, such as Grainville School, also performed poorly in 2011.[6] Other independent schools in Jersey performed much better.[6]

In 2019 the school banned mobile telephones in order to improve students' results.[7]

In 2022 67% of pupils achieved 5 A*- C GCSE grades.[8]


School buildings

The school buildings were designed by Architecture PLB.[2] They are energy-efficient and are designed around a central open space, with a granite-clad tower as a reminder of Jersey's history.[2] The school hall also functions as a 350-seat theatre.[2]

Awards

In 2023 Haute Vallee was awarded Green Flag certification by Eco Schools.[9]
