FCC is an 11-18 local authority, mixed comprehensive with 1420 students on roll and a successful sixth form. In March 2019, our one day, short OFSTED inspection confirmed our OFSTED ‘Good’ status originally achieved in January 2016.
The school has a good record of academic outcomes and pastoral support and our core values of achievement, care and equality underpin our work, creating a happy and vibrant school.
Last year saw the completion of significant building work costing £11.5M. Students joining us from 2020 benefitted from fantastic modern facilities in our new three-storey block that replaced all of our older classrooms. Whilst great schools are about the people in them and not just the buildings, the enhanced facilities at Felpham have been a massive boost.

Ofsted
“The school is a warm and welcoming place. Pupils’ welfare is a very high priority for staff and good systems are in place to offer help and support, sometimes involving external agencies when appropriate. A very high proportion of parents say that their child is happy in school and is well looked after here. One parent described how, ‘the staff have been excellent at looking after [their son’s] whole educational well- being. They have responded to any concerns immediately and have helped him as if he were their own’”.
