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.

Ffynone House School - Academic Excellence

In its thirty-five year history Ffynone House School has earned a reputation for academic excellence. 

Examination results have been consistently high, both at GCSE and A level. 

GCSE Success

In 2009, pupils achieved a 92.7% A*-C pass rate at GCSE. The school reinforced its reputation for outstanding achievement in the sciences with 96.4% A*-B pass rates in Chemistry and Biology.  

A Level Excellence

At AS and A Level Ffynone excels. The school offers a selected range of A Levels in small, focused class and seminar formats to help prepare pupils not just for the exams themselves but for University life beyond them. Our results speak for themselves. In 2008 60% of Ffynone's A Level results were A grades. In 2009 we achieved a 100% pass rate at A Level with 88% at grades A - C. Our Head Boy and Head Girl each achieved 4 A grades.

In addition, pride has always been taken in developing the whole child through dedicated pastoral care and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

Cognita Schools

The school's Headteacher, Mrs Nicola Walker, is actively pursuing an exciting new phase in the school's history, following its acquisition by the Cognita Schools Group in 2007.

Recent investment has seen improved facilities and opportunities for pupils, including an ICT suite and enhanced Sixth Form accommodation.  Ongoing investment promises an exciting future for a school which has always endeavoured to secure the best for your child and the best from your child.

The school holds regular Open Days and Scholarship events. Please visit the Ffynone House School website for more information.
