Le Rocquier School

What Le Rocquier School does

Le Rocquier School is Jersey's largest government secondary school, founded in 1975 and currently celebrating its 50th Anniversary Year (2025-26). It serves approximately 800 students aged 11-16 across Key Stage 3 (Years 7-8) and Key Stage 4 (Years 9-11), with a curriculum delivering GCSEs (Combined Science via AQA, English, Mathematics, Geography, History, Languages, Drama via Eduqas, PE via Cambridge iGCSE), BTEC Tech Awards (Dance), and vocational pathways in Construction and DEC!, preparing students for Level 3 study at Highlands College, Hautlieu, Victoria College, Jersey College for Girls, or apprenticeships. The school employs 110+ staff including teachers, ELSA-trained wellbeing leads, counsellors, and a Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead, and is led by Headteacher Andrew Adkin with Deputy Headteachers Sam Baglin and Roxanne Shipton-Tayler.

The school is publicly funded by the Government of Jersey's Children, Young People, Education and Skills (CYPES) department, receiving per-pupil and Jersey Pupil Premium funding rather than tuition fees; ancillary revenue derives from facilities hire and school meals. Its technology stack is entirely composed of third-party edtech platforms — Microsoft Office 365, SIMS (Student Information Management System), SchoolCloud for parents' evenings, Satchel One for homework, Parent Pay for billing, GCSEPod and Tassomai for revision, Accelerated Reader for literacy, and Unifrog for careers guidance — with no proprietary technology assets. The school holds the UN Children's Rights Bronze Award and is subject to the triennial Jersey School Review Framework (last reviewed March 2023).

The school's go-to-market is community-led rather than commercial: it serves as the designated secondary school for the eastern parishes of Jersey while accepting open enrollment from families across the Island. Distribution relies on a comprehensive website, social media presence (Facebook, Twitter/X), email newsletters, a drone-produced virtual school tour, and an active PTA. The school is governed by a Board of Governors chaired by Ross Henderson (elected September 2024), with a refreshed roster adding expertise in finance, safeguarding, SEN, and inclusion between 2024 and 2026. Its primary strategic relationships are with Government of Jersey, Jersey Music Service, and a network of mental health and safeguarding providers (Mind Jersey, NSPCC, Kooth, Mental Health Foundation PEP, ELSA Network).
