Saint Peter Port, United Kingdom Elizabeth College Full time

**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.

Whether it is for our youngest children in the Pre-School or the eldest studying for their A Level examinations, the Elizabeth College curriculum is vibrant, progressive and stretching. Our staff are focused on helping all our students to learn, to grow and to be better than they were yesterday. This is reflected in our students’ examination performances and the successful careers of our alumni. But success goes beyond test scores and university acceptances; at Elizabeth College we nurture the whole child. Our school culture, our diverse offering of co-curricular activities and our comprehensive pastoral care instil in our students a set of core values that we hope will equip them for success for the rest of their lives.

The Junior School is split over two sites, joined by the Elizabeth College Junior School Field. The Acorn 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.

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

Elizabeth College, founded in 1563 by Queen Elizabeth I, is a broadly selective day school. One of the earliest members of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC), the College provides a challenging, broad and stimulating academic and extracurricular programme for children between the ages of 2½ and 18.

Elizabeth College Junior School is coeducational. The infant department at Acorn House provides a pre-school and pre-prep education for children aged 2½ through to 7 (Key Stage 1). The Junior department, at Beechwood, provides an education for children aged 7 through to 10 (Key Stage 2) and prepares boys and girls for entry to secondary education at the age of 11. ECJS Acorn House and ECJS Beechwood are co-located on a site approximately half a mile away from the Upper School.

The Upper School became coeducational 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 coeducational offering in the Junior School and the positive impact of our twenty-year Sixth Form partnership with The Ladies’ College. Years 8-11 remain boys only as we take a phased approach to the introduction of the coeducational model.

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

Elizabeth College is proud of its academic record but we feel strongly that a successful school experience is about much more than examination certificates. We celebrate all of the talents of our students and look to support and guide them as children and young people through to adulthood.

**Teaching Information**

Whilst there is a preference for staff to have Qualified Teacher Status, graduates may be employed who do not hold an accredited teaching qualification. Such staff would be expected to register for a training programme to attain QTS and would be supported by the College in gaining this qualification.
