WQ.91/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND LIFELONG LEARNING
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 25th MARCH 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON WEDNESDAY 3rd APRIL 2024
Question
“Will the Minister advise whether he is giving any consideration to reducing the grants paid to Jersey fee- paying schools and, if so, provide his reasoning?”
Answer
Grants will fluctuate in value based a number of variables including the number of children and young people attending a school. They are paid to the following fee-paying schools:
• Beaulieu Convent School (primary and secondary)
• De la Salle College (primary and secondary)
• FCJ (primary)
I am not currently considering changing the way grants are calculated to reduce the value of grants to these schools.
For reference, the Government also allocates budgets (not grants) to the following fee-paying Government of Jersey schools/colleges:
• Jersey College for Girls (secondary)
• Jersey College Preparatory School (primary)
• Victoria College (secondary)
• Victoria College Preparatory School (upper primary)
I am not currently considering reducing budgets for these schools.
