Falmouth School exists to ensure that all students learn successfully and support each other in a caring environment. Students are encouraged to reach their fullest academic and personal potential by learning through a broad and balanced curriculum 'that promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of students ..... and also prepares students for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.' (Education Reform Act 1988)
The curriculum meets the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum at KS3 and KS4.
The timetable is spread over a fortnightly cycle with three 100 minute lessons each day (2 in the morning session and 1 in the afternoon). In addition, 25 minutes at the start of each day is set aside for registration, assembly, and tutorial work (which includes some elements of PSHE).
