Hautlieu School, or simply Hautlieu, is a secondary school in Jersey which accepts students aged 14 and over. The school is owned and operated by the States of Jersey.

Overview[edit]

In 2012, the school had approximately 680 pupils.

During the academic year 2004/2005 the GCSE pass rate was 100%, at which 40% gained A* to A grades. At A level there was an 87% pass rate of which 79% obtained grades A-C. Admission into Hautlieu depends on the result of CAT, Cognitive Abilities Test, exams with a minimum result of 109, as well as the results of the PT, Progress Test, in English and Maths (PTE and PTM respectively) with a minimum result of 103 on both tests.[2] It is, however, possible for students who have not achieved the necessary CAT or PT scores to appeal.

Over the years it has been suggested by politicians that Hautlieu should be converted to a sixth-form college and the 14+ system (which some regard as controversial) be abolished.

Admission criteria[edit]

Hautlieu differs from other state secondary schools in Jersey in that students must meet specific criteria before being eligible for application to attend the school.[3]

Programs[edit]

A Confucius Institute at Hautlieu School opened circa 2017, the 1,000th such institution in the world.[4]
