Ffynone House School is a non-selective independent day secondary school for boys and girls aged 11-18 in the heart of Swansea. The best way to experience Ffynone House is to arrange a visit and taster day.

To book your personal tour or taster day, or order a copy of our prospectus, telephone 01792 464967, or use our Contact Form
A really lovely start to the day with our first School Council Meeting of 2021. All years were represented and we discussed the good and the bad of online learning, what they are enjoying and what they would like more of! We are also making a plan to raise money for our charities by doing some sponsored virtual challenges in the form groups…to be revealed in time! Thanks to Mrs Davies for organising and supervising.

Izzy has already secured a place on Ballet Cymru’s Associate programme where she has the opportunity to work with the professional dancers, Artistic Directors and guest teachers of the company. She has attended a couple of virtual sessions over Zoom already and when in-person classes resume she will attend a ballet technique class, followed by pointe work, repertoire and creative work. Pointe work is a prerequisite of the course. ![]()

She is an ambitious dancer and has done everything possible to keep up her fitness and skills during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brilliant work, Izzy!
In addition to academic success, we firmly believe that there is much to learn and enjoy beyond the classroom. Ffynone House offers a range of creative, cultural, sporting and adventurous opportunities that build confidence and leadership, in an atmosphere where pupils from a variety of backgrounds feel secure and equally valued.
