Folkestone School for Girls (FSG) is an all-girls grammar school in Folkestone, Kent. It is located next to Sandgate Primary School on Coolinge Lane. It has good reports from OFSTED, and excellent grades from the pupils. It started in 1905 as the Folkestone County School for Girls. The boys grammar school is called the Harvey Grammar School.
Entrance examination
The school intended to use the entrance examination introduced by Dover Grammar School for Boys, but, after an objection by Kent County Council, it was ruled on July 8 2005 by the Schools Adjudicator that the school should use the county's selection test.

Radiation
The school was chosen at random by the Radiocommunications Agency, which has since been incorporated into Ofcom, as one of a number of schools for which the radiation exposure from cellphone transmitter towers should be measured. The measurements were made on November 23 2001. According to the measurements, the highest ICNIRP public exposure level on the site was over four-thousand times greater than the lowest level.
