We value and recognise the importance of partnership with the family and local community and proudly hold the first ever Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA) in the Channel Islands. Our relationship with parents and carers of our students is paramount in supporting their development, achievement and success in school. Parents and carers want to become more involved in their child's learning. Grainville has a thriving and energetic 'Grainville School Association' which is our parent-staff group who work tirelessly to raise funds which will benefit the school and ultimately our students. Grainville School is a thriving 11-16 inclusive secondary school in the central part of the beautiful Jersey. During recent years Grainville has gone through an extensive building programme. Our new school facilities are therefore spacious and modern, equipped with the latest technology to enhance learning. Students at Key Stage 3 follow a broad and balanced curriculum. At Key Stage 4 we offer a wide range of subjects and options blending traditional GCSE and BTEC vocational courses.
