The Fallibroome Academy is a mixed secondary academy school in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It has approximately 1567[1] students, including around 365 in the sixth form. The school is a specialist performing arts college, leading edge, national training school and a national teaching school, equivalent to a teaching hospital. Fallibroome was opened as a purpose-built comprehensive school on the present site in September 1979.[citation needed] An Ofsted inspection report in 2022 rated the school as "Good".[2]
Although only officially opened at its present location in 1980, during the academic year 1978-9 it operated from the old premises of the Wycliffe Avenue Secondary Modern School for Girls in Wilmslow as a 'stop gap' for a grammar school intake of 72 boys who were unable to be taken by King's School, Macclesfield.[citation needed]
In 2014 a new building was opened, housing a new sixth form centre and new canteen.
The school attracted headlines for its innovative "welcome video", which featured all students and staff in elaborate choreographed sequences.[3]
