Welcome to Ferham Primary School for pupils age 3-11 with a provision for 2 year olds.
Our school is a wonderful place where all children and all staff love to belong.
Reading and learning to read is very important to us and we ensure that all of our pupils are taught to read and love books.
Our curriculum and curriculum enrichment offer are both carefully constructed to support and challenge our pupils at whatever stage they join our fabulous school. It is important to us that our children feel welcome and valued from the moment that they join us.
Pupils at Ferham Primary School thrive under the care and instruction of excellent staff who are all here to "Make a Difference".
If you have any questions, please just get in touch by phone, email or Dojo: our warm and friendly team will be more than happy to help.

"It is clear for me that our involvement at the community cafés has shown how it brings agencies/services in to school to enable easier access for families. This work builds confidence in services for families as they can see that school has the trust in them so families can too. This work is so important in building and empowering community which we feel you are trying to do at Ferham Primary."
Sophie Wood, Clifton Partnership
"Craig, As you know I have served the Ferham Community over period of time. I just wanted to comment on how much I feel Ferham Primary has improved over my time of attending it. I can honestly say if feels like a different school. The children seem so happy and eager to learn and well behaved. Their appearance has improved, they are settled in class and on my attendance within the school have been paying attention, willing to participate in debates and express their opinions with confidence. I have loved attending the school and working with the children within the Mini Police Scheme. The children have been polite and well mannered, its a credit to yourself and all the staff that work at Ferham Primary."
Jacqui Millward, PCSO, Rotherham Central Neighbourhoods
"When I was in the school last week at the knife crime sessions the children were extremely well behaved and respectful of the visitors and subject in discussion. I have noticed a significant change in pupil behaviour since your introduction to school, pupils entered the classroom swiftly and without fuss straight into learning and represented the school & themselves very well."
Johnathon Gilberthorpe, RUCST

Gavin Worboys, SYP Community Officer
