"Mixed feelings about FCC"

We had a positive experience at Faringdon Community College, but there were some issues with communication and organisation. However, the teachers were generally very supportive and the facilities were excellent. I'd recommend it to families, but with some caveats.

"Excellent teachers and support"

My son has really enjoyed his time at FCC, and we've been really happy with the standard of teaching. The pastoral care is also excellent, and the teachers are always available to offer support when needed.
