We have small primary bases on St Agnes, St Martin’s and Tresco and a large base located on St Mary’s for both primary and secondary students. Primary children who live on Bryher boat daily to Tresco for schooling. All secondary age students attend school on St Mary’s; those who live on off islands boat and board weekly, staying in Mundesley House which offers a home-from-home arrangement. Class sizes are small, particularly in secondary, and the pastoral provision is exceptional.

We are very proud of the progress our students make over their time at FIA. Our Progress 8 scores have been well above the national average every year for the past five years. We are the top performing school across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly according to DfE Progress measures. Many students leave with outstanding results across a range of subjects, particularly in English, Maths, Humanities, Science, Design Technology and Engineering. Our 2023 Ofsted Report has warmly recognised that we are a ‘Good’ school with ‘Outstanding’ Personal Development for our students.
