Strong progress has continued on our journey of continuous improvement with the implementation of the Strategic Plan and it has again been a highly successful year for both schools. Victoria College achieved its best ever overall results at GCSE. Whilst A level results remained strong, they dropped to levels that existed before the recent high years and support arrangements have been put in place in some departments. Encouragingly, Victoria College was scored in the top 10% of some 3,000 UK schools, reflecting outstanding progress students made in achieving results better than their predictions.

  • 9650 Organisations in Receipt of States Grants

    9650 Organisations in Receipt of States Grants

    16 1240/5(9650) WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 11TH OCTOBER 2016 Question Will the Minister provide a list of those organisations which previously regularly received a States grant and which have either had that grant reduced or cut entirely since the Minister took office? Answer Grants to organisations are at the discretion of each department based on an evaluation of whether they support the objectives of the Department and the overall Strategic Objectives of the States of Jersey. Due to the discretionary nature of grant funding, the level of funding and recipients of grants vary between years. In some cases, there will be continuity in the organisations receiving grant funding but the reason for the grant may change to support different objectives. Equally, different organisations may be in receipt of grant funding in different years to achieve the same objective. For that reason, it is important to consider the wider allocation of grants and their targeted nature in response to this question. All grant allocations are disclosed in the States of Jersey Financial Report and Accounts (Accounts) and the corresponding Annex. Any significant individual grant, now defined as £75,000 and over, is identified in the Grants Note in the Accounts (page 154 in the 2015 Accounts). Grants below this amount are listed in the Annex in Appendix A. The Minister took office in 2014 so the analysis provided in this response focuses on changes in grants allocated between 2014 and 2015.
  • Sports Development Annual Report 2011

    Sports Development Annual Report 2011

    Education, Sport and Culture Sports Development Annual Report 2011 w o m JMNERSEY e MIXEDnETBALL Introduction Last year, for the first time, a document was written to record the vast amount of work that is being done by many people to facilitate and support the development of activity across a range of sports and activity programmes for the benefit of many people in Jersey. It also informed the work programmes for 2011 and I am delighted that the second report demonstrates even more development and achievements. The following pages reflect the work carried out by officers directly employed by Education Sport and Culture as well as those employed by Governing Bodies who are supported with a grant from ESC. The aims, objectives and performance indicators for each person are different and reflect the needs of their particular area of activity. They are developed in consultation with ESC to ensure that they contribute to the objectives of the department and in turn the Strategic Objectives of the States of Jersey. By bringing this together in one report, I believe it clearly demonstrates the outstanding work being done by officers and others in their sports, and the significant effect that it is having on the quality of life of the many people who benefit from the efforts being made. Clearly, the work has also helped to raise the standard of performance in each area of delivery. This report does not record the excellent work that is done by countless volunteers who work in their sports without the assistance of a Development Officer.

We invited grant applications in the spring and autumn and were delighted to receive a record number of applications. This was the second year we have been able to consider grant applications from the private sector following the approval by the States in July 2012 to broaden our remit to include private as well as public and charitable organisations. As a result, our Advisory Panel had a very busy year, with 14 meetings held to review and consider applications for 71 projects from 59 organisations requesting grants totalling £4,300,000. Of the 59 organisations, 28 were from private entities and 31 were from the non-profit sector. After detailed considerations, the Advisory Panel approved 20 projects totalling £829,256 in grants. Seven grants from private entities were approved, totalling £538,500 and 13 grants from the non-profit sector were approved, totalling £290,756. Please see our report that follows for further details. In addition to our Advisory Panel meetings, Panel members met separately with many of the applicants. A number of applicants were invited to make presentations at our Advisory Panel meetings to discuss their projects in more detail. Minutes of all of our meetings, including our deliberations and decisions, are recorded by the States Greffe and published on our website www.jersey.com/tdf .
