The College prioritises the safety of students, parents/carers and staff. We ask that people use our car parks with extreme caution and without putting their own and other lives at risk. 

Unfortunately, car parking space at, and around the College is extremely limited. To maintain the safety of all students, parents and staff, the following protocols are in place.  Jersey College Site Safety and Parking Protocols - Sept 25.pdf

The small car park at College House, is reserved for designated staff and visitors only. 

Please be aware that members of senior staff/JCG SLT may need to leave and return to the site during their working day – visitors are therefore asked not to park in these spaces at any time. Thank you. Arrangements at the main College car park, accessed from Mont Millais are as follows:

• There is no permitted parking for students. 

• Our Upper/Rear car park is reserved for JCG staff only

  The barriers are there to prevent unauthorised access. Staff are reminded to ensure this car park is full before seeking alternative parking. They have parking permits and key fobs/cards to access.

• Our Underground/Basement car park is designated for use by parents/carers to drop off/collect JCG and/or JCP students.

  Parents/carers are respectfully asked not to park and block other vehicles into spaces.
  To prevent unauthorised parking, the shutters* are automated to open at 07:45 and stay open until 09:00. They will then be closed during the school day, opening again at 14:15 in time for picking up students. Unless there is an evening event, the shutters will close by 18:00 each day. The opening and closing of shutters will be adjusted accordingly for events during the school day, e.g., plays and assemblies.
  This car park is wide enough to create space for vehicles to pass any parked vehicles. Also, there is cover from inclement weather which is of particular benefit to parents with babies and small children.

  *There is a traffic light system on the wall as you approach the car park

  this indicates when the shutters are open (green light) or closed (red light). Please do not proceed down the ramp when the red light is displayed.
• Bas/Frontal Le parking (Bus-bay) est utilisé principalement pour les bus : 
  • In the morning (8:00 – 8:45 am) to drop off students attending JCG, JCP, VCJ, VCP, Hautlieu, Beaulieu and De La Salle.
  • In the afternoon (15:15 – 15:45 pm) to park in the designated bays to collect students from the above schools.
  • All parents/carers are asked to ensure they do not prevent access to/parking for buses during the times displayed and shared above. Our staff will direct parents/carers to a suitable and available parking space if they wish to park their vehicle whilst escorting children to/from JCP and/or JCG. 

Parking JCP 

The car park off Claremont Road (north of the JCP building) is reserved for JCP staff only. 

However, parents/carers of JCP students may request permission to use the Claremont Road drop-off/pick-up zone (south of the main building). This is a carefully managed and successful system for families who prefer not to access the main car park on Mont Millais. Parents wishing to use this facility should contact the JCP office to register their request and receive further guidance.

• Parents/carers who do not use this option are asked to use the Underground/Basement car park at Jersey College for Girls, Mont Millais, to drop off and pick up children in the mornings and afternoons. A crossing patrol officer is on duty on Claremont Road from 08:00 until 08:50 am and again from 14:40 to 15:15 to support safe pedestrian access.
• The Admin car park, near the administration offices, is designated parking for administration staff and disabled drivers only. It may also be used to drop off or collect pupils only between 09:00 and 14:30.
• Please do not drop off on Claremont Road itself.

Please do not leave your engine running… 

We ask that drivers do not leave their engine running unnecessarily, e.g., when parked on our site, waiting to pick up your child/ren, etc. 

Engine idling: 

• is illegal – Rule 123 of The Highway Code states that drivers must not leave a vehicle engine running unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. 
• increases the amount of exhaust fumes in the air, which are bad for the environment and contributes towards climate change. Exhaust fumes are also linked to asthma and other lung diseases.

Signage 

There is signage within the car park to advise of height restrictions for users of the underground/basement car park. Most vehicles, including larger cars/SUVs should not find this to be problematic. However, larger vehicles with roof racks or similar are usually directed to park in an alternative suitable space.

What if I need help? 

If you are in the car park and need assistance, please call the JCG school office on 516200.

Utiliser le site du Collège en toute sécurité

Keeping everyone safe, when they are on our site, is very important to us. For that reason, we ask that everyone in our school community will help and support us with these procedures. We want our parents/carers to know that they can come to talk to us - our relationship with you is very important. However, we do ask that you adhere to our systems for access to and within the campus. 

We believe that car park safety in all school settings is crucial for protecting students, managing traffic, ensuring pedestrian safety, maintaining security and fostering positive parental engagement. We hope in prioritising safety measures, we are creating a conducive environment that promotes the well-being of everyone within the school community.  

Additionally, we want to emphasise our zero-tolerance policy towards rudeness and aggression directed at our staff members. Any individuals found engaging in such behaviour will be prohibited from accessing the campus. We believe that treating all members of our community with respect and consideration is essential for fostering a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

Site Staff Support & Safety Measures 

Our Site Staff play a key role in maintaining the smooth and safe operation of our car parks. They are on duty during peak times and actively guide drivers to the most appropriate parking opportunities. This helps preserve traffic flow and ensure safety for all users of the College campus and surrounding roads.

Vehicles are parked at the owner's risk. The College accepts no responsibility for loss, damage, or theft.

Merci, comme toujours, pour votre soutien continu.
