La Mare de Carteret School

La Mare de Carteret Secondary School is a post-11 secondary school on the island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands, located in the Castel parish.

The school caters for pupils from the age of eleven to sixteen. As of September 2008 La Mare de Carteret Secondary School has been renamed Le Mare de Carteret High School and year 10 pupils previously attending St Peter Port are now among the upper year students. The eldest year (year 11), who previously wore green jumpers in order to distinguish them from the younger years, now wear black jumpers with the new school logo, as do the merged year 10 pupils. However, in order to properly distinguish the two, year 11s also wear badges. When the new school year started in September 2009, the last remaining students of St. Peter Port Secondary school started Key Stage 4 at La Mare de Carteret High School. Joining them was the previous Headmaster of St. Peter Port Secondary school, who took the place of the former Headmaster of La Mare de Carteret High School, Mr. Phillip White.

At the moment the year 11s are doing their GCSEs and have to choose whether they want to go on to the grammar school or the College of FE or to go on to work. The year nines are making decisions on their GCSEs, although Science, English, Maths, Religious Studies (RS) and Information Communication Technology (ICT) are required. The courses that they can choose include Photography, Drama, French, Geography, Digital Applications, Psychology, Media Studies, German, Spanish and the college courses, which include Hair and Beauty, Engineering and Accounting as well as many more.
