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.
