Falmouth School (formerly Trescobeas County Secondary School) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Falmouth in the county of Cornwall.{{Cite web|title=Welcome Back to the start of Spring Term 2018Headteacher's Blog - Welcome to Falmouth School's Website|url=http://www.falmouth.cornwall.sch.uk/64/headteachers-blog/post/31/welcome-back-to-the-start-of-spring-term-2018|access-date=2021-07-30|website=www.falmouth.cornwall.sch.uk}}

Previously a community school administered by Cornwall Council, Falmouth School converted to academy status on 1 August 2011.{{cite web |url=http://www.falmouth.cornwall.sch.uk/56/about-the-school |title=About the School |publisher=Falmouth.cornwall.sch.uk |date=2011-08-01 |accessdate=2014-06-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150224060506/http://www.falmouth.cornwall.sch.uk/56/about-the-school |archive-date=24 February 2015 |url-status=dead }} However the school continues to coordinate with Cornwall Council for admissions. The school also has plans to sell its playing fields to buy the former Budock Hospital site and turn it into a sports centre for use by the school and local community.{{cite web|url=http://www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/10560058.Budock_Hospital_site_school_sports_plan_a_step_closer_after_deal_agreed/ |title=Budock Hospital site school sports plan a step closer after deal agreed (From Falmouth Packet) |publisher=Falmouthpacket.co.uk |date=2013-07-19 |accessdate=2014-06-03}}
