About Ferryhill School
Set on a ridge on the outskirts of Ferryhill, Ferryhill School benefits from magnificent views and spacious grounds. The building dates back to 1964 when it opened as Ferryhill Technical Grammar School. Most of the premises still service its occupants well having been updated, repaired and refurbished.
Ferryhill School is an 11-16 mixed school with some 800 students drawn from over 10 feeder primary schools in the local area including Ferryhill, Ferryhill Station and Chilton. Excellent liaison with our partner primary schools allow for curriculum links and effective information transfer, as well as initiatives such as summer schools and More Able provision.
The college’s mission is achievement for all; to provide a caring, orderly environment in which all students learn and develop to their full potential. Our core values of Integrity, Creativity and Excellence underpin our school ethos. We work in partnership with our community to ensure that quality teaching meets everyone’s needs. We set high standards, find ways to continuously improve and recognise our successes.
The School was inspected in 2014 by Ofsted and was judged to be Good with Outstanding Features. Our Ofsted reports can be viewed on the school website. In the past five years the college has maintained consistently high outcomes in Key Stage 4, for both GCSE and BTEC qualifications. We have also, in the past, been identified by the DFE as one of the top 100 schools in England for overall school improvement.
Ferryhill School values its people very highly – students, staff, governors and visitors. Staff members are friendly, supportive, hard-working and determined. We place great emphasis on ‘getting things right’, setting and achieving high standards. Our performance is very good and this is a tribute to teamwork and partnership.
