About Hautlieu

Hautlieu School was established in 1952, as part of Jersey’s post-war expansion of free secondary education. Originally a selective grammar school for boys, it was created to provide education leading to GCE O and A Levels for academically able students from across the Island.

The school became co-educational in 1966, when Rouge Bouillon Grammar School for Girls was incorporated into Hautlieu.

For more than 50 years, Hautlieu occupied its original site on Wellington Road. The buildings were extended and improved during the late 1960s and early 1970s, including the addition of new sixth-form and middle-school facilities.

In April 2004, Hautlieu moved into its present purpose-built school, constructed on the former playing fields next to Highlands College. The building marked a new chapter in the school’s history, while retaining Hautlieu’s distinctive role in Jersey’s education system.

Today, Hautlieu continues to provide education for students aged 14 to 18, building on more than seven decades of academic education in Jersey.
