WQ.25/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND EDUCATION BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 30th JANUARY 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 6th FEBRUARY 2023
Question
“Would the Minister outline the Government of Jersey's awareness of, and access to, the reports generated through inspections and audits of Private Primary and Secondary Schools in Jersey and, if access is not already openly available, advise –
- whether these documents can be made readily available to the Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills in extraordinary circumstances; and
- whether the Minister is satisfied that these documents can be readily made available to key stakeholders, including parents of enrolled pupils and teaching unions?”
Answer
Please see below links to list of schools which show which are provided by the government and which are non-provided / private.
Primary schools (gov.je) Secondary schools (gov.je)
Beaulieu, De La Salle and FCJ are grant aided by government, the remaining private schools are self- funding.
- Grant agreements between the Government and grant aided non-provided schools in Jersey, require the schools to submit evidence to my department of a validated independent provider’s review or inspection and a copy of the report, every three years. The current agreements were signed in 2021 so they have until the end of 2024 to do this. There is no similar agreement with the schools that do not receive a government grant, although some do commission and publish their own independent inspection reports.
- Grant aided schools should publish any independent inspection reports they commission to key stakeholders; some do this via their websites. Reports for grant aided schools reviewed under the Jersey Schools Review Framework will be published on gov.je.
I have asked officers to check compliance with the grant agreement requirements for 3 yearly reviews that are published. I will review the requirements for reporting cycles within the Education Law for all schools.
