Welcome
On behalf of the pupils, staff, and governors of Ferndown Middle School, I am delighted to welcome you to our school and to our website.
At Ferndown Middle, we are proud to serve the young people of our community, offering a vibrant, inclusive, and ambitious education for pupils aged 9 to 13. As part of the Southern Learning Trust, we benefit from being part of a forward-thinking family of schools, working together to share expertise, raise aspirations, and ensure every child thrives.
Our school is built on the values of Kindness, Ambition, and Curiosity. These principles guide everything we do — from the way we treat each other, to the way we approach learning, to the opportunities we create for our pupils to grow as confident, compassionate young people.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, enriched with a wide range of extra-curricular activities, trips, and leadership opportunities. Our dedicated staff are committed to high expectations for learning, behaviour, and personal development, ensuring that every child is supported and challenged to achieve their very best.
We believe that education is most powerful when it is a partnership between school, home, and the wider community. We value strong relationships with parents and carers, and we are proud of the role our school plays in the life of Ferndown and the surrounding area.
