Block PlayTeaching and Learning at Feltonfleet remains at the forefront of educational practice because our staff continually engage in Continuous Professional Development across a range of sectors. 

During recent years, our Early Years learning environments and routines have been reconsidered, reconfigured and reinvigorated with regard to current educational research.

The Upper School ski trip is a true rite of passage for our pupils as they edge closer to Destination 13, the pinnacle of their Feltonfleet journey. This winter, Alpendorf’s pristine slopes set the stage for a week of skiing, schnitzels, and snow-filled adventures. The pupils embraced every moment with enthusiasm and camaraderie - we're so proud for their spirit and impeccable conduct! ⛷️ Huge thanks to the team at @snowslippers_ who helped to ensure we all had an amazing trip. #FeltonfleetDestination13 #FeltonfleetCrossCurricularLearning
