The Fallibroome Academy is a mixed secondary academy school in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It has approximately 1567 [1] students, including around 365 in the sixth form. The school is a specialist performing arts college, leading edge, national training school and a national teaching school, equivalent to a teaching hospital. Fallibroome was opened as a purpose-built comprehensive school on the present site in September 1979.[ citation needed ] An Ofsted inspection report in 2022 rated the school as "Good". [2]

Contents

Although only officially opened at its present location in 1980, during the academic year 1978-9 it operated from the old premises of the Wycliffe Avenue Secondary Modern School for Girls in Wilmslow as a 'stop gap' for a grammar school intake of 72 boys who were unable to be taken by King's School, Macclesfield.[ citation needed ]

In 2014 a new building was opened, housing a new sixth form centre and new canteen.

The school attracted headlines for its innovative "welcome video", which featured all students and staff in elaborate choreographed sequences. [3]

Design and technology department

The department has had success in many national competitions over the last few years including Greenpower, [4] Young Master Chef and the Audi Innovation award.[ citation needed ] The department shares its good practice by holding "professional development activities" for local schools and shares its resources via its own website. [5]

The year groups start from year 7 (11–12) and go up to year 11 (15–16). After this stage the pupils either move on (e.g. start a different college or get a job) or stay on for years 12–13, which is also known as Sixth Form, for further education.
