A very warm welcome to Falmouth School! We are absolutely delighted that your child will be joining us in September and being part of our school community.
We know and understand the transition from primary school to secondary school is an important milestone for both children and their families and so to support, we have created this Transitions Hub where you will find lots of information so everyone can feel prepared and excited for the next chapter.
Can we invite you also, to follow us on our social media, like Facebook and Instagram, to stay up to date with news, events, and important announcements as we move through the transition process but also for you to see all the amazing events that take place and the celebration of our students’ skills, talents and character.
Communications During the Transition Process
We will be communicating with families via the email addresses provided to us by Cornwall Council following the application process. Please can you check we have your most up-to-date contact details so you receive important information.
