Welcome
I’m Headteacher Philip Jones and I am delighted to welcome you to our school. There is something very special about Ferndown Upper School and we are incredibly proud of students and their achievements.
As you navigate your way around our site, I hope that it will give you a clear idea of our values and of the opportunities available to all who study here. Where everyone works together to make Ferndown a safe, happy and engaging place to learn.
We’re offering school tours, should you have missed our open evening in September, for available dates and to book:

Dear Parents and Carers,
Due to predicted severe weather (yellow weather warning), we have been informed that school bus services have been cancelled for tomorrow.
The school WILL remain open as normal. This is because the predicted rainfall is expected to be overnight and only two hours.
Staff are in school and lessons will continue for pupils who are able to attend safely.
We fully understand that travel conditions may be difficult and attendance will not be penalised for pupils who are unable to get to school due to the cancellation of buses or unsafe travel conditions.
Please do not attempt to travel if it is unsafe to do so. Parents and Carers should use their own judgment based upon local conditions.
Staff will email their class work to be completed for each lesson so that those students who are unable to attend school will not fall behind.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will update you if circumstances change.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Kind regards
Philip Jones
Headteacher
