Ladies' College is a private single sex secondary school in Guernsey, Channel Islands. Despite catering solely for girls in the early years, in the sixth form lessons are shared with the school's boys' counterpart Elizabeth College, with the girls and boys being given a small window of time between lessons to walk to the respective school. This arrangement was begun in 1999 and has functioned continuously since.
As an independent school, the majority of pupils are fee-paying; however the States of Guernsey awards scholarships annually on the basis of eleven plus results. Students of Melrose, the primary school section of Ladies' College, are not permitted to take the eleven plus, and therefore must be fee-paying students if they are to attend the college.
The admissions department has recently installed a new system whereby children from states schools can also apply.
