About JCP

Take a look at our virtual tour video below to get an idea of what a day in the life of JCP looks like!

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).
