Fowey River Academy
Fowey River Academy is a co-educational secondary school with academy status (Learning Edge Academies Partnership), serving a large and diverse catchment area including Fowey, the nearby towns of St Blazey and Lostwithiel and surrounding villages.
The school dates back to the Fowey Free School which was founded in 1692 by John Rashleigh and Shadrack Vincent. The land was provided by John Treffry and Vincent gave £500 to purchase land to provide income for the school. Originally the school was for "educating 30 poor children of Fowey and adjacent places." numbers increased by 25 in 1773 when a further bequest was given John Johns.
In 1880, the school was converted to a Board School under the Elementary Education Act 1870 and a new building added in 1876. A new Grammar School, designed by Silvanus Trevail was built in 1879-80 on Daglands Road.
In 1922, both school were taken over by the County Council and two charities set up the Fowey Grammar School Site Foundation, which held the land and buildings, and the Fowey Grammar School Exhibition Foundation which provided assistance above that of the local authority.
In 1957, a new Secondary Modern School was opened, and the board school became a primary school. In 1970 the Secondary Modern become Fowey Comprehensive School. The original building ceased being used 1989 and were eventually sold in 1997.
The school was awarded full community school status in 1990, and in 1992 received the Schools’ Curriculum Award for enriching the curriculum through links with the community.
The school was designated Fowey Community College in 1997 following its successful application to become Cornwall’s first Technology College in September 1996. It gained second phase funding in 1999 and entered its third phase in 2002. In 1996 it was awarded Investor in People status and was re-designated for a third time in 2002.
In 2001 it received the Eco Schools and Schools Achievement Awards, in 2002 it received the Sportsmark and Investor in People awards and in 2003 it was awarded membership of the Specialist Schools Trust Value Added Club.
