ELIZABETH COLLEGE

Elizabeth College, founded in 1563 by Queen Elizabeth I, is a selective day school with a broad ability range located in St Peter Port in Guernsey. One of the earliest members of the Heads’ Conference, it provides a challenging and highly stimulating academic and co-curricular programme for children from 2 ½ through to 18 years of age in a co-educational environment.

The Junior School is split over two sites, joined by the Elizabeth College Junior School Field. The Acorn House site for children aged 2½ through to 7 (Key Stage 1) is located on the King’s Road and the Beechwood site for children aged 7 through to 10 (Key Stage 2) is on the Queen's Road. ECJS is located approximately half a mile away from the Upper School, on The Grange. While the campus is split, common spaces such as sporting facilities are shared. Familiarity with the site, staff and routines allows for smooth transitions between the different educational stages, with staff working together to ensure continuity of pastoral and academic support. 

The Upper School became co-educational in September 2021 with girls joining the College in Year 7 and Year 12. This change was made recognising the needs of modern society and builds on both our well-established co-educational offering in the Junior School and the positive impact of our Sixth Form partnership with The Ladies’ College. In September 2024 Year 11 will be the last remaining boys only year group as we take a phased approach to the introduction of the co-educational model. The Upper School offers a wide variety of subjects with most students taking between nine and eleven GCSEs.  

Beyond the classroom, there are extensive opportunities for students to become involved in Sport, Performing and Creative Arts, STEM activities, trips and tours, the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme and many other activities.  

Everything we do at Elizabeth College is centred around our students and living to our core values. They help steer how we behave, learn and treat one another, and they are embedded in and reflected upon in all aspects of school life.

An Elizabeth College education is designed to create well-rounded, resilient young people who have the skills, attitudes and values to be successful and to make a positive contribution to society. This focus begins right at the start of the Junior School with a simple set of easy to follow core values. Our youngest children are taught to: Aim High, Be Kind, and Be Brave. Providing this toolkit for school life, ensures we encourage them to develop self-confidence and a love of learning, while being sensitive to the feelings of others.

 As students move up through the years and into the Upper School we actively use our core values of Curiosity, Compassion and Courage to guide our daily interactions with one another and our approach to learning.

Elizabeth College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people, and follows Safer Recruitment procedures. The successful applicant will be required to satisfy our standard employment checks, including the completion of a DBS Enhanced Disclosure check. It is an offence to apply for this role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. 

Online and Social Media checks will be conducted for all successful candidates. 

All applications are welcome and will be considered in line with the Guernsey Discrimination Ordinance.
