About the Business
It is a community school which means that it is run by the local authority, which employs the staff; owns the land and buildings and decides which 'admissions criteria' to use (these are used to allocate places if the school has more applicants than places). A school was first opened on the current site in 1974 and was originally known as Felpham Comprehensive School. In 1978 it accommodated 800 students and following expansion during the late 1980s it was renamed Felpham Community College in 1991, by which time student numbers had risen to around 1,400.
Its International Schools Award provides recognition that an international ethos is embedded throughout the school and that a majority of pupils within the school are involved in international work. The Healthy Schools Award and Sport England Award demonstrate the school's commitment to encouraging its students to make healthier life-style choices and to participate in sport above and beyond the school sports curriculum.
