Head of Music Applicant Information Head of Music Applicant Information Introduction by Carl Howarth, Principal Welcome to our information booklet for the post of Head of Music. It is designed to give a flavour of life here as a teacher at JCG, provide information to support your application and, with the College website, provide you with a snapshot of the myriad of varied activities that take place each day in College. Our website is also useful for information regarding relocation, living and working on our stunning island. Founded in 1880, JCG has been at the forefront of girls' education in Jersey for over 125 years and has a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence and service to the island community. Our students thrive on expert teaching, state of the art facilities and a vast range of extra-curricular, enrichment and expedition activities. They are enterprising, friendly and ambitious and they have wonderful purpose, energy and sense of service to others. Our staff care and are dedicated, creative and talented. Our exceptional academic results are a testimony to the personal and collective success of all at JCG. From here, our students go on to study at good universities, both in the United Kingdom and across the world. Each day we strive to deliver the very best educational experience for our students. This experience should deliver outstanding academic achievement and, more importantly, nurture someone who is happy, well-mannered and able to find fulfilment in one’s service to others. Music, and the Music Department, is at the heart of our very special community. We do all we can to support the beauty of music-making so that it nourishes our students and builds an appreciation of the aesthetic as well as developing confidence and resilience through performance. Inevitably, an information booklet and website can only partially reflect the reality of College life. I look forward to meeting short-listed candidates on the Monday 18th March 2019 where interviews will take place at Jersey College for Girls. At interview, candidates will meet our students and staff, and experience the warmth, vitality and ethos of intellectual curiosity that is JCG. It is a privilege to lead this remarkable school on such a beautiful island and I would encourage you to apply for this vacancy.

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.

  • The Best Start for Children in Jersey
    The Best Start for Children in Jersey By getting it right from the start, Jersey will become an island that works for all children and makes a sound investment in the island’s future. 1 About the Partnership Achieving better outcomes for children and families means working across traditional boundaries between government departments and partner agencies in both the public, private, voluntary and community sectors with parents and their children. The Best Start Partnership1 offers a new ‘whole system’ approach by bringing together a wide range of stakeholders in a single body. It has and will continue to draw on the voices of children and families with local representatives from the public, private, community and voluntary sectors to provide unique insights representing the interests of children in the development, implementation and evaluation of government strategy and policy. The purpose of the Partnership is to: • represent the interests of children in the development, implementation and evaluation of government strategy and policy • ensure that early years and childhood policy is co-ordinated, resource allocation is effectively prioritised and high quality practice is embedded across services and organisations • support and help implement, integrate and monitor delivery plans for relevant outcomes • support the delivery of the children’s plan • monitor and review the impact of policies and services for children and families Why the Early Years are crucial What happens in pregnancy and early childhood has the greatest impact on children’s futures as it impacts on physical and mental health throughout adulthood. “The period from conception to the start of school opens a critical and singular window of opportunity to shape the development of a child’s brain.

You will see from the Report that nine complaints were received by the Greffier of the States. Of that number two went to a full Hearing, whilst three Appeal Boards have been deferred until 2000 (including one complaint carried forward from the end of 1998). Of the two Hearings, the appropriate Board upheld the Committee’s decision on one occasion and requested a reconsideration of the other. From time to time there are those who say that Administrative Appeal Boards, or an equivalent ombudsman, should be given more teeth. I have to record that in the United Kingdom a recommendation is generally found acceptable as the appropriate authority almost always accepts the ruling of the ombudsman. Unfortunately such is not always the case in Jersey. I would point to the matter referred to under (b) below where the Planning and Environment Committee agrees with the recommendation and accepts the justice of the Board’s findings; but over a year has passed since the Board gave its decision and nothing has happened.

In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.
