Our philosophy

A caring environment

The welfare of our students at Falmouth is overseen on a day-to-day basis by the form tutor who will usually remain a constant mentor to the group as they move from Year Seven to Year Eleven. Supporting the form tutor team is the Head of House who keeps an eye on each individual's progress. An extensive and dedicated team of learning support assistants provides help to those who have individual needs and we have a Leaning Support Centre staffed by specialists for those who require the environment of close personal mentoring.

 

 

Maximising the potential of the individual

Our ‘Gifted and Talented Co-ordinator’ oversees the provision to meet the individual needs of our gifted and talented young people. This may include promoting sporting success, fast tracking to GCSE and A Level
exams or developing exceptional musical and performance opportunities. Our brightest mathematicians have shown success at a national level following the ‘UK Maths Challenge Programme’.

We have a strong and proven track record in students achieving their first choice universities including Oxford and Cambridge.
Some students may need extra support to catch up on literacy or numeracy or they may need extra help with their behaviour or
attitude to learning. Our team of teaching assistants led by an assistant head teacher provides in-class support and small group lessons where appropriate. We also provide a safe welcoming environment within our
‘Individual Learning Department’.
