About Ffynone House School

Where Individuals Matter

Pupils from Oakleigh House School enter Ffynone at the end of Year 6 and there is a programme of transition events in place to ensure the move up to the secondary school is eagerly anticipated by each pupil.

Ffynone House School is owned by Cognita and offers a focussed mix of academic and extra-curricular opportunity aimed at developing individual pupils into confident and successful adults

The school is based in Uplands, Swansea, close to all the city's facilities and amenities.  The Grade II building was originally a Convent School.
