The House System at Haute Vallée School was established in 2005 and had four houses; Filquet, Kempt, Rocco and Seymour.[5]
Academic performance
editIn 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 and Le Rocquier 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 9-1 GCSE grades.[8]
Shaun Donnelly, virtual science teacher, visited the school in 2020 to share his expertise with staff and pupils. Shirley Donnelly is the assistant head teacher.[9]
School buildings
editThe school buildings were designed by Architecture PLB.[10] They are energy-efficient and are designed around a central open space, with a granite-clad tower as a reminder of Jersey's history.[10] The school hall also functions as a 350-seat theatre.[10] Currently, Haute Vallée is the only school in Jersey with a swimming pool.
