Feltham Community College - Overview

Overview

In addition to the mainstream school, FCC also has three specialist units incorporated into it. These units are; an Autism Resource Centre, (ARC) a centre for students with physical disabilities (PD Centre), and a centre for students with behavioural issues (known as The BASE)

Feltham Community College gained academy status on 1 November 2011. An academy is a school that is not run by the Local Authority (in Feltham's case, the London Borough of Hounslow). It is managed and run entirely by its own Governors and staff, and funded directly by the government. Throughout England, however, most students are still admitted to secondary schools such as FCC through a central system administered by the Local Education Authority where prospective students (or rather, their parents/carers) submit their choice of schools in order of preference.
