The Roseland Multi Academy Trust’s mission is to provide outstanding education for its communities, where everyone succeeds. Falmouth School joined the Trust on 1 September 2020. The Ofsted inspection in May 2019 designated the school as ‘Inadequate’ and this initiated the re-brokerage of their original multi academy trust. Ofsted inspected the school again in February 2023 and the school received a ‘Requires Improvement’ Ofsted judgement and is due to be inspected again this academic year. The Trust is confident in the strengths and areas for development and the school has made significant progress since its last inspection.
Falmouth School has undergone significant change which has had a positive impact on the school and the community it serves. The school has a warm, purposeful and welcoming feeling. Students respond positively when asked about their experiences in school and that they are benefiting and enjoying their learning from the new opportunities organised within the curriculum. We are extremely proud of the progress the school has made and the outcomes for students this academic year clearly evidence the improvement journey. Although the outcomes will not be validated until later in the autumn term these are some of the key indicators taken from the SISRA collaboration: A8 50.51, P8 0.08, Basics 9-5 52.5%. The school has developed a stronger safeguarding culture and is developing a challenging and aspirational learning environment through its focus on Quality of Education, which will continue to enable students to progress rapidly and attain outstanding outcomes.
