Test, Exam and Assessment Results

We consider attainment and achievement to be outstanding. Students leave the school with an outstanding portfolio of academic qualifications. They are well qualified, well rounded young women and are well equipped for varied, fulfilling careers. The outstanding results achieved are testament to the hard work of students, the professionalism and dedication of staff, the continuing support of parents and the guidance and direction of trustees. They further cement The Folkestone School for Girls' already enviable reputation, locally and nationally, for delivering  consistently outstanding academic results.
