History

Until the 1970s, students from primary schools in the village of Felpham attended secondary schools in the nearby town of Bognor Regis. A secondary school was opened in Felpham in 1974/5 as Felpham Comprehensive School. In 1978 it accommodated around 800 pupils and in 1980 the initial intake of pupils had reached the sixth form. The neighbouring Arun Leisure Centre was also completed at this time with the School sharing its sports facilities. The school was renamed as Felpham Community College in c.1991 by which time pupil number had risen to around 1300. The school aims to raise the pupil number by 420 people by 2023. [1]

In 2013, an unnamed student of Felpham Community College was successful in a Guinness World Record for "Most Spaghetti Eaten in 10 Minutes". The attempt took place in the school's main cafeteria, which has now been nicknamed 'the spaghet arena' by students of the school. Even though most the school faculty discredits this, it is still seen as "the most historical moment in the school's history'.

Campus

The college is sited on a campus which it shares with the local leisure centre (Arun leisure centre).
