A Welcome From
Our Principal
Welcome to St Sampson’s High School where children join at 11 years old and progress through to the age of 16. St Sampson’s offers families a warm, welcoming setting where children are supported, and where their talents are nurtured through the exploration of the Bailiwick Big Picture curriculum which is intended to develop all children as: successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.
The school educates over 700 students every year with a wide spectrum of aspirations, interests and needs. The school offers high quality pastoral support, academic challenge and a wider curriculum that builds resilience and brings out the joy and confidence in all of our young people.
Our partner primary schools include Haute Capelles primary school; La Mare de Carteret primary school and Vale primary school. We enjoy transition days in the summer term welcoming year 6 students and work with our primary partners to ensure transition is smooth and well supported.
St Sampson’s School provides excellent facilities for our young people and becomes a central community hub for a range of organisations out of hours.
We hope you enjoy the content of our site and look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Read On facebook📣 School Closure 📣 Storm Austen should arrive over the Channel Islands this evening. The Met Office has issued a red wind warning this morning in advance of winds starting to pick up. The forecast shows that the worst of the storm will pass right over the islands early tomorrow morning, between 6am and 11am, and wind speeds could reach Force 10, with the potential for gusts of higher winds. This brings with it the risk of flying debris and, because of the wind direction and the very dry summer, the risk of trees being uprooted and falling is heightened. While Storm Austen is still expected to be less severe than Storm Goretti at the start of the year, the peak of the storm will be during the morning when people would be usually commuting. This brings with it additional risk. As such Guernsey's Emergency Services have advised that the roads should be kept as clear as possible in case they need to respond to an incident, and as such, the States of Guernsey has taken the decision to close all States schools tomorrow (Friday 23rd October). From a Health & Social Care perspective, appointments will be going ahead, but if your appointment is cancelled for any reason, staff will reach out to you directly. We would also encourage islanders to take all sensible precautions. Avoid unnecessary outdoor activity over night and tomorrow morning. Ensure you have taken measures to protect your property, securing things like outdoor furniture at your house and closing windows, and if you have a boat, checking its moorings before the storm arrives. If you are on the roads, please drive cautiously and be considerate of others and the conditions around you. There will be travel disruption both at the harbour and airport, and we would advise islanders to check in with their travel providers for more information. The worst of the storm should have passed by around midday tomorrow, although winds will remain high into the weekend. We will continue to monitor the situation regarding the weather on Friday and on the weekend, and will provide updates as the situation progresses. For more information, go to gov.gg/StormAusten
