"Fantastic School Experience"

We've been at Ferncumbe for 2 years now and have absolutely loved it. The staff are so caring and supportive, and the facilities are always clean and well-maintained. My child has thrived in their phonics program and I'm so impressed with the school's commitment to their 'Charter of Entitlement'. We feel so lucky to be part of the Ferncumbe family!

"Nice School, Some Areas for Improvement"

We've been at Ferncumbe for a year now and have mixed feelings. The school's facilities are great, and the staff are friendly, but we've had some issues with communication and the pace of learning in certain classes. Our child has enjoyed the after-school clubs and the Wrens Nest afterschool club, but we're not entirely convinced about the effectiveness of some of the programs.

"Excellent Support for Our Child"

We've been at Ferncumbe for 6 years and have been consistently impressed with the level of support our child has received. The school's commitment to SEND is particularly noteworthy, and the SENDCo, Mrs Cation, has been an absolute godsend. Our child has made great progress and is now ready to take on the challenges of secondary school.

"A Great Primary School Experience"

We were at Ferncumbe for 3 years and had a really positive experience. The school's values of 'Enjoy, Believe, Achieve' really shine through in the way they support their children. My child was particularly happy with the Jigsaw PSHE program and the extracurricular activities on offer. We were sad to leave, but the school's open-door policy made the transition to secondary school much easier.
