In this month’s podcast, ASCL General Secretary finds out more about Guernsey’s mission to transform education. With 30% of young people educated in independent schools (grant-aided colleges), a decision to move away from selection at 11, the island is now looking to rationalise four state secondary schools into three, to create a dedicated post-16 campus, and in the process to bring a renewed commitment to equity, ambition on educational standards, and new opportunities for staff development.
Here’s Guernsey’s story so far, featuring conversations with:
Nick Hines, Director of Education
Liz Coffey, Executive Principal of the Secondary School Partnership
Martin Haimes, Headteacher, Beaucamp High School
Jenny Palmer, Principal, Elizabeth College
Honor and Jonathan, Year 13 students, Elizabeth College
