FKS Schools Ltd is a small, non-selective, coeducational school whose aim is, ‘To provide the highest quality education for all pupils in a happy, secure environment which, against a background of community spirit and sensitivity to the needs of others, encourages everyone to achieve their full potential’. It was established in 1957 by the current proprietor’s mother and is located on two ‘house’ sites (Andrews and Edwards), in the rural village of Felsted in Essex. At the time of inspection, there were 159 pupils on roll. Children are admitted from the age of four and at the age of 11 transfer to local grammar, independent or state secondary schools. The pupils attend school for approximately six hours a day with younger children finishing ten minutes earlier. There are currently very few pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, including those with speech and language or moderate learning and physical difficulties. The school was last inspected by Ofsted in March 2006.
