Welcome Booklet May 2022
You are warmly invited to Ferndown Middle School
Open Evening on Wednesday 21 September 2022 for Year 5 entry in September 2023
The evening will consist of a presentation in the school hall from Mrs G Allen, Headteacher, followed by an opportunity to tour the school. Parents can choose to attend the presentation at either 5.00 pm or 6.00pm.
Ferndown Middle is uniquely placed to meet the needs of children through a time of considerable and wide ranging intellectual, physical and emotional development between the ages of 9-13 years (Year 5 – Year 8).
Education is not just about how one school works but about how we work with our feeder and upper schools. A coherent and cohesive education that covers a child’s entire education, from first to middle to upper, leads to greater progress, achievement and enjoyment.
Ferndown Middle is a highly successful school with a real sense of community. It is a lively and happy school providing a high standard of education as well as extensive opportunities for all pupils to engage with.
A broad, balanced and carefully planned curriculum is securely in place and through extensive work with our First Schools and the Upper School, children experience a smooth transition between schools.
