Top Standards in Writing at JCP

I’d like to share with you some great news which we are really pleased about as a school, regarding the incredible successes in both the Commonwealth Essay Competition and the Eisteddfod Handwriting. We have been regular participants in both of these over the years, but this time we have had what isprobably our best overall successes to date.

In the Commonwealth Essay Competition we were the top performing school on the island with 26 awards in total (6 Gold, 7 silver and 13 bronze) and our Head Girl at the time, Daisy, was awarded the top place for any student from Jersey (of any age) winning the RCS Jersey Award Cup. Continuing in a similar vein in the schools Eisteddfod Handwriting section, we won all 4 awards available for the first time ever I believe. Here’s what was said:

‘Wow, CONGRATULATIONS!! Jersey College Prep has swept the board this year, claiming all four Primary Schools Handwriting trophies! It gives me great pleasure to inform you that Jersey College Preparatory School has, for the sixth consecutive year (ignoring the break due to Covid in 2021), again won the Centenary Award for Handwriting, for the school submitting the best overall set of entries (one platinum, eight gold, four silver and two bronze certificates) in the Handwriting & Calligraphy Section of the Jersey Eisteddfod Creative Arts Festival 2022. In addition, Alesha received the only platinum certificate awarded this year and has also won the Dean of Jersey Handwriting Trophy for the best overall entrant across the entire section. Evie has been awarded The Aidan Smith Trophy for the best and most appropriately decorated piece of work, and Holly has received the Amyson Cup for the best work submitted by a younger entrant, both girls also being awarded gold certificates.’

Congratulations to all involved and to all our children and teachers at JCP who continue to strive to excel day in, day out at school. This is for everyone!
