It was established in 1929<ref>{{cite book|last=Manners|first=Elizabeth|title=The Story of Felixstowe College, 1929-1979|publisher=Printed by Baron Publishing, Woodbridge, Suffolk}}</ref> 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.
