Haute Valleé

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.[1]In 2011 Haute Valleé, it was revealed had a record of only 18% of students achieving the grades of A* - C in 5 subjects which meant it ranked in the bottom four of secondary schools in Great Britain.[2] This contrasts greatly with private run schools in Jersey such as Victoria College and Jersey College for Girls, both of which have pass rates of students achieving the five A*- C between 95-98%.[3] As these are both fee paying schools with costs exceeding £6,000 per year and therefore over £30,000 from year 7-11, [4]this stark contrast between grades highlights the divide between the education made available to the wealthy in comparison to the working and middle class on the island of Jersey. This demonstrates the difficulty in obtaining a good standard of education from a states run school in Jersey which is a trend that has continued to this day with it being revealed in October 2019 that 57% of students in Jersey Public schools had failed to achieve a Grade 5 in English and Maths GCSE.
