About The Ferrers School -

Welcome to The Ferrers School, where excellence and success are both desirable and achievable. I was appointed as the Principal in September 2025 after working within the Trust for a number of years. In March 2026, we were exceptionally proud of our Ofsted report card inspection and rated 'Expected Standard ' in key areas also praised for our 'inclusive culture'. The hard work and dedication of our staff enabled this progression.

The Ferrers, in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, 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 are delighted to be part of Meridian Trust, and our school is underpinned and supported by its ethos and values. We want our students to feel safe, happy, and enjoy school, and this aim is reflected in everything we do.

Our ambition is that our students leave school having fulfilled their academic potential and, just as importantly, that they have developed into thoughtful, responsible citizens who are ready to make a positive difference to the world around them.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
