Felixstowe College


Felixstowe College was a girls' independent school, located in Felixstowe, Suffolk. It was established in 1929 and closed in 1994. In 1995, a different school called Felixstowe International College was founded on part of the site of Felixstowe College.

Julie Welch's memoir Too Marvellous for Words covers her time spent at this school in the 1960s.
