At Falmouth School, our unwavering commitment to teaching and learning forms the bedrock of our educational philosophy. We believe that active student engagement is the key to success, and to that end, we strive to create enriching learning environments that challenge students and foster continuous progress.
Core Learning Routines for Success
Structured around core learning routines consistently applied across key stages and various subjects, our lessons are designed to provide a roadmap for success. Our goal is to empower every student with clear expectations, promoting independent learning and maximizing opportunities for academic growth. At Falmouth School, we firmly believe that 'every moment inside the classroom counts.'
The Silent 5: A Powerful Start
Each lesson at Falmouth School commences with 'The Silent 5,' allowing students to immerse themselves in the learning experience from the moment they enter the classroom. This dedicated time is utilised for retrieval-based DO NOW tasks, reactivating prior learning and forging connections between concepts and themes.
Structured Conclusion for Lasting Impact
Similarly, lessons conclude with students consolidating their learning, clearly demonstrating the progress made during the session and the overarching topic. This structured approach ensures that students not only excel but also understand their next steps for continued advancement. Across the school, a consistent lesson structure challenges students to reach their full potential, with support readily available when needed.

By actively incorporating student voice, we ensure that our curriculums are engaging, inspiring, and accessible to all. This collaborative approach enables us to create an educational experience that resonates with every learner, making education at Falmouth School truly transformative.
