From the Folville Junior School
Thanks for visiting Folville Junior School. Folville was built in the 1930s, originally as a girls' secondary school and became a junior school in the 1970s. Many of the original characteristics of the structure have been preserved, adding to its charm and personality. Folville is a true community school that has served Braunstone families for several generations. Folville Junior School has high standards for its students, employees, and parents. We offer a rewarding and comprehensive curriculum that places a strong emphasis on the enjoyment and enthusiasm of learning. We are a sizable junior school with an enrollment of around 400 students. We are proud that our school community is made up of many different nationalities, speaking over 30 languages. Folville would not be the prosperous school it is now without the cooperation and dedication of the faculty and parents. I'm honoured to welcome you into our household.
