History edit

In 2015, it was decided that the Les Quennevais secondary school buildings needed to be replaced because they were outdated, too small for the student body, and on a site that is too small for a modern school.[3] The new build took place on fields 80, 84 and 85 off Rue Carrée and was opened in September 2021.[4]

Headteachers edit

The three houses that consist within Les Quennevais are named after the first three headteachers: Watts, Tranter and McKeon.

  • John Watts: 1964-1969
  • Ted Tranter: 1970-1988
  • Tom McKeon: 1988-1992
  • Jenny Hydes: 1992-1999
  • John Thorp: 1999-2013
  • Sarah Hague: 2013 to present
