Information for Prospective Parents

Most of us would agree that an excellent education is one of the best gifts that we can give our children.   If you have not yet considered independent schools as a potential route for your child, now may be the perfect time to consider the available options.

Independent School in Swansea

Ffynone House School is a small, friendly independent school in the Uplands area of Swansea. It provides high quality co-education provision for children aged eleven to eighteen.  Established in 1973, we have built our solid reputation on excellent teaching, exceptional pastoral care and outstanding academic results.  

Our school offers a stable and secure alternative to maintained provision in Swansea and the surrounding areas.   Small class sizes, mean that teachers are responsive to the individual needs of each and every pupil. Dedicated and expert teaching staff are able to develop and support pupils to reach their full potential. The range of subjects on offer at both GCSE and A Level, mean that our students can pursue the subject choices that support their further education and career aspirations.  The majority of Ffynone House students sit 10 GCSE subjects with some having the opportunity to sit mathematics early. High pass rates are the norm.

Backed by the UK’s leading independent schools’ group

Ffynone House School is owned and supported by Cognita Schools Limited, the UK’s largest independent schools group. Under the leadership of our new Headteacher, Nicola Walker, Ffynone House is entering an exciting new phase.  Ongoing investment in the school has resulted in improved facilities and greater opportunities for pupils including the creation of two new IT suites and enhanced Sixth Form teaching accommodation.
