About Ferndown Middle School
Ferndown Middle School is a primary school in Ferndown, Dorset, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 613 pupils aged 9 to 13 attend the school. 45% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 11.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 1% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 18.2 pupils per teacher. Ferndown Middle School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
