Our
History & Heritage

The Beaulieu family

Beaulieu Convent School is a Roman Catholic independent school for girls and co-educational in Sixth Form. Founded in 1937 at St Matthew’s Convent, Coin Varin, by a French Roman Catholic Religious Order, the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. This Order was founded in the early 19th century in Saint-Meen-Le-Grand, Brittany, just south of Saint-Malo, by Mere Saint-Felix (1789-1874). Beaulieu moved to its present site in 1951 with 16 girls and 18 boys of infant school age.

In 1999, the Sisters gifted the school the site and its buildings, via a trust to the island of Jersey, on the understanding that it would remain a Catholic School.

The school is situated canonically in the Diocese of Portsmouth, and the school’s Trustees and Governors have responsibility for the Trust.

A close relationship

Many past pupils choose to send their children to Beaulieu or decide to work at Beaulieu themselves. Once you are a member of the Beaulieu family, you will stay a member for life.

The close relationship we share with our students, their families and our supporters is very special to us. Joining Beaulieu is the start of a journey for you, your child and your family and we will be with you every step of the way.
