Executive Headteachers Welcome

Welcome to La Passerelle. We are immensely proud of our inclusive school, which is supported by a fantastic team of caring, dedicated and highly skilled professionals. As a team we are warm and welcoming, and together with our students, create a school community of mutual respect, empowerment, pride and achievement. La Passerelle values every student for the individuality that they bring to the school which enriches our learning environment.

La Passerelle has two sites in St Saviour, welcoming learners from all over the beautiful Island of Jersey. 
Our aim is to provide an educational and therapeutic package working closely with a range of professionals to meet the requirements of our learners. The school can accommodate a limited number of learners across the two sites.

We are a school community where belonging, well-being, growth and achievement are at the core of all we do.  These are important to our purpose, procedures and practice.  We aim to provide a sense of security so that everyone feels safe, confident and can demonstrate respect for both themselves and others in a caring and nurturing environment.  We encourage a sense of responsibility and accountability, with an awareness of fairness and an appreciation of diversity in an atmosphere aimed at realising and developing potential through challenge.

La Passerelle is supported by the Inclusion Department which support young people in Jersey. We aim to provide the best possible care and education that we can for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs within both our Primary and Secondary school settings.

We aim to create individual and personalised pathways for our students that are built around their varied needs which will help them achieve positive outcomes and prepare them for their onward destinations into continuing education, work or training and help them have the skills for independence. We do this by giving our students a variety of experiences within the classroom and outdoors.

We see strong relationships as the key to our success with our learners, and we do this through playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy. We work closely with our parents, carers, professionals and wider community for the best interest of our learners.
