And to everyone else who is coming back in September: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Welcome back! Wonderful first day of the new academic year! So good to see lots and lots of smiling faces!

Year 5 enjoyed their first art and design sessions today. Some of the group spent their afternoon making 'vegetable critters' from veggies and cream cheese! They almost look too good to eat.

Week 2 in school and the clubs have started. Which clubs will be looking to join this term?

Everyone who joined yesterday had great fun! There was lots of shouting and laughter from the field.

We are pleased to announce the date of our Open Evening for prospective Year 5 parents for the 24-25 academic year. Tuesday 26th September from 5:00 to 7:30pm.

A brilliant afternoon at Canford School for the Poole and East Dorset School Sports Association Cross Country. Our 28 pupils loved it.They pushed themselves to the limit all displayed the character, teamwork, resilience & determination that's expected from a Ferndown Middle School pupil. Well done all. We're very proud.

Thanks so so much for Poole and East Dorset School Sports Association for organising and Canford School for hosting such a fab event. It's awesome the impact these Cross Country events have on all of the pupils. A real community spirit amongst all schools. Canford Sport & Wellbeing Ferndown Middle School
