At Victoria College, we’re passionate about making a high quality education accessible to any Jersey boy who is motivated to develop his talents and aim high. Currently, 53 boys across both Victoria College and Victoria College Preparatory School are supported on a range of partial to full bursaries. With the support of our Foundation Partners, like Saltgate, Victoria College is able to offer bursaries to those boys whose families need it most.

Alan Falle, Victoria College’s Head of Sixth Form: On behalf of Victoria College and our Foundation, I’d like to thank Saltgate, for their commitment to supporting two Sixth Form full bursaries and the additional offer of paid work experience at Saltgate.

“I’ve recently joined Victoria College from Hautlieu, but as an Old Victorian myself, I can personally attest to the unique education experience we offer here at Victoria College. We offer the widest co-curricular programme in Jersey, and so our boys receive a rounded education which makes them stand out to future employers. This, coupled with our varied careers programme and network of corporate supporters, means that we are able to offer our Sixth Formers fantastic career opportunities – setting them on a solid path for life beyond College.”

Sacha Patel, Saltgate’s Head of CSR: “As a good corporate citizen, Saltgate’s CSR strategy is firmly focused on supporting the education sector. Most recently, we’ve sponsored the Jersey Learning Conference, for teachers from all of Jersey’s schools; the Promoting Healthy Young Minds conference this summer; and two Jersey Festival of Words events, held at Victoria College. As a Foundation Partner, we’re looking to further invest in Jersey’s young people and the future of the island’s talent pool. It means alot to us at Saltgate to give Jersey’s talented, young people access to the best education and career opportunities, regardless of their financial means.”

Jonathan Giles, Rathbones’ Managing Director: “Rathbones is proud to continue its support of Victoria College and its Foundation, as one of its original and longest standing Foundation Partners. The Rathbones team are pleased to be able to give back to the local community, and our staff enjoy taking part in Careers Fairs and mock job interviews, for example, at Victoria College. The school’s aim of ‘building successful futures’ is very much a community-wide effort, and I’m pleased to welcome Saltgate as a fellow Foundation Partner and in becoming an integral part of the Victoria College family.
