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. Other former boarding houses, playing fields and the main school site were sold off for private housing. Julie Welch's memoir Too Marvellous for Words covers her time spent at this school in the 1960s.
