Fallibroome has a longstanding reputation as a centre of excellence, with our academic achievements placing us in the top rank of schools in England and Wales. They welcome students of all abilities and they have a proud record of supporting all students to reach their full potential. While the academic core of our curriculum is exceptionally strong, they are also very proud of the emphasis that they give to practical and creative pursuits. This is also reflected in the extraordinary breadth and variety that is evident in the extra-curricular programme. Whatever your interests or aptitudes, they are certain that there is something at Fallibroome for you. They consider ‘student behaviour and wellbeing’ to be the most important school priority. As a result, they work very hard to ensure that every lesson is calm, respectful and hardworking and we protect these standards tirelessly. At the same time, they have an excellent team of pastoral staff that provides additional support and guidance for those students who need a little extra care and attention. By securing behaviour and wellbeing in this way, they can then focus on delivering first class teaching and learning; excellent examination outcomes; massive engagement in extra-curricular activities; and a positive, vibrant school community.
