    Awful experience for child and parent

    This school only concentrates on high achieving pupils, whom they reward with trips out, mentions in newsletters and favour in class.

    Experiences at Ferndown Upper School as an exchange student

    It's a school

    Continue to let on more and more students each year, and struggling to support all of these students. Most teachers are nice. Subject teachers know what they're doing most of the time.
