The Ferrers is a school in which excellence and success are both desirable and achievable and I am privileged to have been appointed as the Principal in September 2017. I am committed to providing a high quality educational experience in a school that puts learning and individual achievement at the centre of everything it does.

The Ferrers is a school in which diversity is celebrated through an inclusive culture in which every student thrives from feeling safe, respected and valued for the positive contributions they make.  It is a school that shares a common and unshakeable purpose to achieve excellence in all that we do.

Our mission is very simple and very important- to help all our students to be the very best they can be. We express this through our motto, “Aspire, Achieve, Acclaim”.

Our vision is to send our students out into the world as confident, motivated, aspirational and high achieving young people who will make a positive contribution to the local and wider community as responsible and ambitious citizens. Our students are our biggest asset and we are very proud of their many achievements and successes.

We were delighted to become part of the Meridian Trust in February 2019. The school is under pinned and supported by the ethos and values of the Meridian Trust.

The core of this philosophy is:

•             Achievement for all

•             Valuing People

•             A high quality learning environment

•             The pursuit of excellence

•             Extending the boundaries of learning

I feel proud to be leading the school as it makes rapid improvements over the next academic year and very much look forward to welcoming you to our school.
