Voluntary Schools

A voluntary school is a school set up by a special interest group, very often a religious group, to provide education in accordance with its own principles and beliefs.

Guernsey has two voluntary schools - St Mary & St Michael Roman Catholic Primary School and Notre Dame du Rosaire Roman Catholic Primary School.

The Education Department is responsible for meeting the costs of teachers' salaries, all the running expenses such as books, energy and water costs and in some cases rent for part of the buildings. The Catholic Church maintains the fabric of the schools' buildings and insures them.

Both of these Roman Catholic Primary Schools have a different status within the School Admissions Policy because neither Notre Dame nor St Mary and St Michael are restricted to admitting children from a defined catchment area in the same way as the other States maintained schools are.

For a child to be granted a place at either of these schools they must be baptised Catholics.
