Fitzroy 

House patron - Vice-Admiral Robert FITZROY

Captain Robert Fitzroy, renowned for his leadership of HMS Beagle during Charles Darwin’s famous voyage, played a pivotal role in the scientific exploration of the Southern Hemisphere. His meticulous mapping of the South American coastline and his ground-breaking work in meteorology left an indelible mark on the world of science. Fitzroy's legacy is not only defined by his navigational expertise but also by his commitment to his crew and the natural world.

At Falkland Islands Community School, we take inspiration from Captain Fitzroy’s sense of adventure, leadership, and curiosity, encouraging our students to embrace the spirit of exploration, both in the classroom and beyond. Just as Fitzroy charted new territories, we strive to help our students chart their own paths toward knowledge and discovery.
