"Excellent school with a caring atmosphere"

We've been so impressed with the level of care and support our children have received at Formby High School. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we'd made the right choice. The facilities are excellent, and the teachers are always available to offer guidance and advice. We've also been impressed with the values of the school and the way they encourage the children to be confident and independent.

"Mixed experience, but some great aspects"

We've had a mixed experience with Formby High School. My child has had some fantastic teachers and has really enjoyed certain subjects, but we've also experienced some difficulties with communication and pastoral support. The facilities are excellent, and the school's commitment to community service is something that really stands out. Overall, we're happy with the education our child is receiving, but we feel that there's room for improvement in certain areas.

"A school that truly cares about its students"

I have two children who attended Formby High School and I couldn't be more grateful for the education they received. The school's motto of 'determined to achieve' really resonates with me, as I've seen my children grow in confidence and develop a real passion for learning. The staff are amazing and the facilities are fantastic. We're so proud to have been a part of the Formby High School community.
