THE FAIL FILES · FALLOWMERE ACADEMY FOR INCLUSIVE LEARNING

Excellence for All.
Resources Permitting.

Welcome to a fictional English secondary school with genuine values, remarkably committed staff and an increasingly complex relationship with the words within existing resources.

The school is fictional. The problems aren’t.

A welcome from Miss Leading

As Headteacher, Miss Leading is delighted to welcome you to Fallowmere. She is passionate about belonging, unwavering in her ambition and confident that every challenge represents an exciting opportunity for professional growth.

Miss Management has asked whether these opportunities come with additional staffing. The matter has been referred to the appropriate committee.


Our BEAR values

We take our values seriously. Their resourcing, regrettably, is subject to ongoing discussion.

Meet the staff
