We are proud to introduce our Boys Theatre Company 2025! ðŸŽ
National statistics are highlighting the lack of male representation within the arts, with fewer boys entering into professions linked to them. At Ferndown, we have decided to combat these statistics by creating a company of 10x Year 9 boys who are going to be trained by leading professionals and have experiences across a range of theatre performances including an upcoming visit to the London West End.
This company is driven by these 10x young men who are going to shape and define what it is going to achieve and stand for this year. The company began their work with a workshop delivered by Dan Boyden who is going to be supporting our boys throughout this journey.
A day full of laughter, confidence building and new friendships, we are so excited for what's to come!

Today our school came together for our annual Remembrance Service.
We paused to reflect and honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served and continue to serve.
A special thank you to Zak in Year 13 for his moving performance on the bugle, and to our students who are members of the RAF cadets for proudly wearing their uniforms and taking part in the parade.
We will remember them 🌺
