context_page_description: Victoria College is a fee-charging day school for boys in St Helier, Jersey. Founded in 1852, the school was named after Queen Victoria, and is owned and administered by the island's government, the States of Jersey. As a fee-charging school and a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, Victoria College is often referred to as either a private or public school in the British sense of the term, despite being government-provided.
  The school is selective, meaning prospective pupils must pass an entrance exam to be offered a place; students come predominantly from white British families. The school charges £2,060 per term, with three terms per academic year, as of 2020/2021 and was noted as being the seventh-least expensive day school in the HMC in 2014. The senior school has about 650 boys aged 11 to 18, with a further 250 boys aged 7 to 11 at the associated preparatory school, which was established in 1966.
context_section_description: A wide range of extracurricular activities are offered at the school. Students participate in a range of sports, arts, music and local events, as well as the school's combined cadet force (CCF). Students also participate in The Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme. Regular contests in cricket, hockey and rifle shooting have been held against rivals Elizabeth College for over a century.
  An ISI report in 2017 found that the level of extracurricular achievement at the school was "excellent" and described the CCF as "a real strength of the school", noting in particular its success in target rifle shooting, where students regularly make selection for UK and British cadet teams.
