The States is also pushing forward with three 11-16 schools: St Sampson’s, Les Beaucamps and Les Varende. This will be happening under a revised timeline, with the new model of secondary and further education not being fully implemented until 2025.
As part of the process, students and staff from Les Ozouets will need to be decanted from the site while construction takes place.
All staff will be relocated except those based in the Princess Royal Centre for Performing Arts, which will remain open throughout.

Louise Misselke, Principal of The Guernsey Institute College said: “we have all been working hard with our staff to ensure that the temporary decant from Les Ozouets Campus is as seamless as possible.
“This is the first step for us toward our new purpose-built facility, and that is very exciting, but we would never be going ahead with this decant if we thought it would be to the detriment of our staff or our students.
“Thanks to the work planning the decant, I am confident that the quality of teaching being delivered by the College will be as good as ever despite these moves.”

“This is an extremely exciting time not only for the island’s Education Sector, but also for the entire Bailiwick community,” said the Executive Principal of The Guernsey Institute, Jacki Hughes.
“Our goal at The Guernsey Institute has always been to create an inclusive community centre for learning, and as we prepare to put the first spades in the ground, we are moving ever closer to achieving that.”
