Pre-Reception - Year 6

Primary

Head's Welcome

Gary Coutanche, Head of Primary

Ours is a happy, thriving school where the boys learn both the academic skills and the personal qualities which will serve them well throughout their life. As a key part of De La Salle College we are proud of our traditions of providing a non-selective all-round education; a clear Christian foundation based on Lasallian values; a curriculum tailored to the needs and talents of boys; and an environment in which we celebrate our boys’ successes in whatever field they excel. Key to the boys’ success is our focus on providing a friendly, supportive environment where they can approach the challenges and opportunities we provide with confidence. With smaller classes and a caring, talented staff team, the boys make good progress and achieve well academically and in sports, music, art and other areas of school and Island life.

We share the same De La Salle College site as the Senior School. This has many benefits, providing the boys with continuity as they move from Primary to Secondary, excellent role-models, and access to the specialist staff and facilities of the Senior School.

As an Old Boy of the College myself (and the son of an Old Boy, and the Dad of an Old Boy), I know from experience the benefits of a De La Salle education. Please enjoy the website and feel free to contact the College if you wish to discuss how De La Salle Primary School can contribute to your son’s education and development.

Our Primary USPs

Faith

integrated throughout every aspect of the school and forming the basis of our ethos, and epitomised by the excellent role models that we produce.

We have a strong reputation for effective pastoral care. De La Salle Jersey is part of the Lasallian mission of being a force for change and goodness in the world.

3-18 Continuum

enabling the impact of our ethos to be firmly embedded over the years that boys enjoy in our care. The impact is uniquely visible at De La Salle where Primary and Secondary enjoy shared facilities and human resources while advantaging our students with regular interaction between older and younger members of the community. 

All boys

with education tailored to the very distinct way that boys learn and thrive, enjoying clear structure and routines and curricular and extra-curricular opportunities that enable boys to flourish. The ethos and inclusive nature of the school means we capitalise on the benefits of single-sex education and boys don’t feel inhibited and self-conscious.

Early Years

At De La Salle, you can start your son with us from 3 years old, with our wonderful pre-Reception class.

Year 6

We offer a special transition year in Year 6, where the boys integrate 50% of their time with the Secondary school, to prepare them for the move to Year 7.

    Year 1 Parent
  • Our sons have both attended year 6. They have loved the opportunities to learn on the secondary site, and we cannot speak highly enough about the teaching and the care throughout. Moving into Year 7 was so easy for them, and they are still loving it!
