Folkestone School for Girls (FSG) is an all-girls grammar school with academy status in Folkestone, Kent, England, next to Sandgate Primary School on Coolinge Lane.

History

It started in 1905 as the Folkestone County School for Girls. The boys' grammar school is called the Harvey Grammar School.

Admissions

The school intended to use the entrance examination introduced by Dover Grammar School for Boys, but, after an objection by Kent County Council, it was ruled on 8 July 2005 by the Schools Adjudicator that the school should use the county's selection test and shepway test.^[1]

House System

There are six houses named after historically important women: (Marie) Curie, (Amy) Johnson, (Jane) Austen, (Emmeline) Pankhurst, (Ada) Lovelace and (Mary) Seacole. Each house has an assigned colour, green, red, yellow, blue, orange and purple respectively. The houses also have their own prefects, chosen from Year 13.
