Ferndown First School situated in a large commuter village north of Poole was founded ten years ago inconverted a middle school. Distinctively, it has five open plan teaching bases named after plants and trees of the nearby New Forest, fem-gorse-heather-pine-silver birch. Everything the school does now remains consistent with the pupil-centred, independent learning philosophy which originally inspired the local education authority to build accommodation for co-operative teaching and learning. However, consistent though it may have been, there was a problem. The school was well organised. Children were happy and actively engaged in their lessons and the staff were apparently ’working their socks off’. But, as the new head says, when he came eighteen months ago, he ‘was stunned at how poor the standards were’.
