"Lovely School, Great Values"

We've had a wonderful experience at Ferndown Middle School. The values of respect, kindness, and hard work are instilled in the children, and the staff are so supportive. My child has thrived here, and we're sad to be leaving.

"Some Areas for Improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Ferndown Middle School. The school has a lot to offer, but we've found the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit patchy at times. My child is enjoying their time here, but we do feel that some subjects could be improved.

"Excellent Facilities and Staff"

My child attended Ferndown Middle School a few years ago, and we were blown away by the facilities and the staff. The after-school club programme is fantastic, and the teachers are so passionate about their subjects. We have no hesitation in recommending this school.
