Dear Parents and Carers,
I am delighted to share with you the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection which took place on
23rd and 24th April 2025: Falmouth School has been judged Good in all areas.
This marks a significant step forward from our previous rating of Requires Improvement.
The inspection team recognised that “Falmouth School is aspirational for its pupils”, with high
expectations and an “ambitious, broad and carefully sequenced curriculum”. They found that “pupils
take pride in their work and achievements” and as a result, “achieve well”.
Inspectors praised the rich and varied opportunities available, noting that students “embrace the
opportunities to build on their interests and talents” and contribute positively and “diligently” to
both school life and the wider community. I am particularly pleased that they recognised the
“friendly atmosphere” and “empathy” at Falmouth as well as our efforts to place the school at the
“centre of the community”.
This achievement would not have been possible without your continued support and partnership,
your role in our improvement journey has been invaluable and I thank you sincerely.
As you know, we have an exceptional staff team here at Falmouth School: their relentless ambition
and care for our students and commitment to high standards have transformed our school. I am
proud every day to work alongside such dedicated professionals. Equally, our students shone
throughout the inspection: They spoke with pride, confidence and maturity in the many meetings
inspectors held with them. They were, without question, a credit to the school.
As we look to the future, we are excited about the next stage of our development. The report rightly
identifies areas for further growth, including broadening our sixth form offer and driving excellence
in all curriculum areas. We are ambitious about what comes next and determined to build on this
momentum to become a truly outstanding school in every sense. We already have over 50
applicants for Yr12 next year with over 10 new A Level courses starting in September 2025, including
Politics, Business and Classics.
I’ve attached the full Ofsted report for you, it will also be published on the Ofsted website shortly.
Thank you once again for your continued support.
This is our school and together we are making it better.
Kind Regards,
Mrs Joanne Guest
