Falmouth School has signed a progression partner agreement with Falmouth University which offers its students guaranteed interviews on all of the university's degree courses and describes how the two institutions can work closely together for the benefit of local students.

Both the school and university have been working closely together for some time. There has been co-teaching on A levels in photography, design and film studies, and on the performing arts diploma which has made it possible for Falmouth School students to use state-of-the-art equipment on the university campus and experience further education while still at school. This enhances their knowledge of the university sector and their applications to university in the near future.

Falmouth School Sixth Form, now known as Falmouth College, is currently welcoming applications from students for courses starting in September. In addition to a wide range of A levels and equivalent qualifications Falmouth College also offers vocational training in hairdressing, child care and construction, as well as a one year pre-apprenticeship course in collaboration with the Cornwall Marine Network.
