Folkestone Academy is a mixed secondary school and sixth form with academy status in Folkestone, Kent, England that was established in September 2007. In April 2017, the school became a part of Turner Schools[1]
History[]
The £40m purpose-built academy opened in 2007 and replaced the town's Channel School. In October 2013 a sixth form centre was built at The Glassworks, in Folkestone's Creative Quarter close to the town centre.
It was originally established as an all-through school educating pupils from the age of 4. However the primary department of the school was formally split from Folkestone Academy in September 2020 to become Folkestone Primary.[2][3]
