Core offering

The Ladies' College is an all-through independent girls' school providing education for ages 2-18 (Pre-School, Melrose Junior, Senior School, Sixth Form) on a single campus in St Peter Port, Guernsey. It charges tuition fees plus a £100 registration fee and £450 acceptance deposit, and offers a 2024-launched 'Pathways' parallel curriculum alongside A-Levels, an on-site refectory (The Core) and co-educational Sixth Form classes via partnership with Elizabeth College.

Product overview

The Ladies' College is an all-through girls' school offering educational services from Pre-School (ages 2-4) through to Sixth Form (ages 16-18), all on a single campus in Guernsey. The institution operates four main educational sections: Pre-School, Melrose (Junior School), Senior School, and Sixth Form. A key differentiator is the Pathways Programme—a parallel curriculum launched in 2024 that runs alongside traditional A-levels to develop 21st-century skills. Supporting services include the Engage Portal for parent communications, the Wellbeing Hub powered by Teen Tips for student support, and The Core refectory with a cashless card system. The school utilizes Microsoft Office 365 (including SharePoint and Teams) for educational delivery.
