Jersey College for Girls
Jersey College for Girls (commonly abbreviated as "JCG") is a fee paying States of Jersey-provided school〔("States reduces funding for fee-paying schools in Jersey" ), BBC News, 29 January 2010.〕 for girls located in Saint Saviour, Jersey, Channel Islands. It currently has around 712 students.
==History 1880–1999==
The situation for the education of girls in Jersey from the mid-19th century lagged behind provision for boys. Victoria College had been opened for boys, on the pattern of English public schools, in 1852. The well-to-do and the élite classes continued to employ governesses or to send their daughters to schools in France or England; other classes relied on the existing elementary schools in Jersey. Jersey people of influence gathered at the Grove Place Wesleyan Chapel in Saint Helier on 28 November 1879 and decided to set up a limited liability company to further a plan to provide a college for girls in Jersey. The then Bailiff of Jersey, Sir Robert Pipon Marett, became patron of the enterprise and an advertisement appeared in the ''British Press and Jersey Times'' in June 1880 to announce the forthcoming opening of the new college in September of that year: "It is designed to give to the daughters of residents and others, at an extremely moderate rate, an education of the highest order. Its promoters have long felt there is a pressing need for such an institution in Jersey". The school was opened in September 1880 as Jersey Ladies' College, located at Adelaide House in Roussel Street, Saint Helier. Girls were put in for Oxford and Cambridge Local Examinations and Matriculation of London University, and those who had studied in France were able to take the ''Brevet de capacité'' in Paris. In 1883 3 students achieved distinction in the Matriculation Examination of London University; the first ladies to have matriculated from Jersey.〔''British Press and Jersey Times'', 12 July 1883〕
In 1887 the Ladies' College acquired property at La Pouquelaye, fronting Rouge Bouillon, in Saint Helier. A new building was constructed (architect: Adolphus Curry (1848–1910)),〔''Buildings in the Town and Parish of Saint Helier'', Brett, National Trust for Jersey 1977〕 and the school moved to the new site in 1888. This building has been called "one of the most identifiable buildings in the island".〔("Old JCG Building" ), BBC Jersey, 4 December 2006 (accessed 21 July 2010).〕 After the First World War the school acquired the neighbouring Mont Cantel site for use as a junior school. The school was purchased in 1928 by the Church of England Schools' Trust. The school changed its name to the Jersey College for Girls, and in 1935 was taken over by the States of Jersey. The Germans occupying Jersey during World War II used the school building first as a barracks and then as a naval hospital.〔''Balleine's History of Jersey'', Marguerite Syvret and Joan Stevens (1998) ISBN 1-86077-065-7〕
Since the move of the college to a new site, the 1888 building has been used for other educational functions, but has fallen into disrepair; it has now been proposed for residential redevelopment, while maintaining the historical portions of the old building.〔("Old Jersey College for Girls site set for redevelopment" ), BBC News, 4 February 2010.〕 The Mont Cantel site formerly occupied by the preparatory school was used by the Jersey Schools Instrumental Service and by Janvrin School, a States primary school for a number of years before being abandoned completely.
