Welcome to English at Ferndown Upper School.

We are a team of literary advocates who are passionate about the power of reading and the education of young people. It is our firm belief that words have power and this is reflected in our engaging, broad and diverse curriculum, something which is echoed through the words of Margaret Atwood “A word after a word after a word is power”.

The team encompasses experts from a wide range of disciplines, experiences and backgrounds, which in turn enables students of English at Ferndown Upper School to explore English through a variety of lenses. Through varied and independent tasks, students carve their own way to become experts in the field of English.
