We are fully committed to ensuring that your child completes a smooth transition from first to middle school and believe that this evening will provide you with a valuable opportunity to gain an insight into middle school education.
The whole school prospectus is also available on our website, and I encourage you to browse the site for information about our school. Prospectus | (fernmid.dorset.sch.uk)
