Our Core Values: Respectful. Resilient. Resourceful. Aspire.
We can only achieve our mission with the support and engagement of all our students, staff and parents. Together we actively use our Core Values – which guide our daily interactions with one another and our approach to school work:
Respectful |
Resourceful |
Resilient |
Aspirational |
---|---|---|---|
Behaving in a courteous, kind and polite way towards everyone in the school and the wider community. Listening to and celebrating different views and achievements. Supporting others. | Being curious and brave in solving problems. Facing challenges and learning where to get help and how to help others. Looking for intelligent and inventive solutions and being prepared to try new ideas. | Developing a positive approach to learning and life. Understanding things might go wrong and there is always another way or a different option. Learning when to persevere and when to ask for help. | To set your standards higher and stretch yourself further, and passionately pursue the next level of personal best in everything you do: academic work, sport, creative arts, behaviour or just being a supportive friend. |
The Tutor System
Each year group has five classes of 23 to 24 students, which have a dedicated Form Tutor who monitors the academic progress, behaviour and welfare of each student. This teacher is the main point of contact for the boys in his class and sees them twice a day for registration. They are also the first and central point of contact for parents and other staff.

The House System
Our five Houses - Braithwaite, Bruce, Diarmid, Dunlop and Sartorius - are named after Old Victorians who served in the World Wars and were honoured with the Victoria Cross for distinguished military service.
The House system continues traditions that promote teamwork, leadership opportunities, competition, celebration and community.
Boys from all year groups mix in the House rooms and get to know one another as they put together House teams for events.
The Housemaster is pivotal in the success of this aspect of College life. They coordinate House activities including volunteering and competitions in sport, music, drama and other areas.
The Housemaster is responsible for:
- The development of a culture of celebration and achievement
- Enhancement of a House spirit and "can-do" culture
- The smooth running of the weekly House Assembly
- Supporting the allocation of House Tutors with the Assistant Head - Pastoral
- The organisation of all House events
- Attendance at and support of House events
- Maintaining high standards of behaviour within the House and school
- Annual House charity events
The Housemasters in 2021-2022:
- Braithwaite: Mr Iain Durkin i.durkin@vcj.sch.je
- Bruce: Mr Joe Crill j.crill@vcj.sch.je
- Diarmid: Mr David Cox d.cox@vcj.sch.je
- Dunlop: Mr Sam Coe s.coe@vcj.sch.je
- Sartorius: Mr Andy Royle a.royle@vcj.sch.je
Student Council
We encourage our students to participate fully in their school life and community. The Student Council allows boys to have their voices heard, to explore issues and solutions and make a meaningful contribution to the development and direction of their school.
At the start of the academic year, each form group or class elects a Form Rep whose role is to represent the views of their peers at House Council meetings and Whole School Council meetings. School Council representatives also take their proposals to the Headmaster and the Senior Leadership Team, so this role provides valuable leadership experience for the boys.
