About us

Our school currently has 180 pupils and typically the families live in and around the villages of South Warwickshire including Hatton, Shrewley, Claverdon, Rowington and Lowsonford. Ferncumbe has a strong reputation for supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and attracts several pupils from out of catchment for this reason.

Our impact

With your support, our work so far has enabled us to provide a more enriching educational experience for the children of our school. We have created engaging outdoor spaces, encouraging imaginative play and exploration. Creating a happier, healthier educational experience is at the forefront of what we do.

We are continuing to organise fundraising events and have created a hub of ways you could get involved with our work.

"The Friends of Ferncumbe are aspiring to raise £19,000.00 to revamp the outdoor playground at our school."

- OUR MISSION

Our vision

We would like to add additional play apparatus and utilise the pockets of vacant space within the playground. We have engaged with the pupils at Ferncumbe and there is a desire to have more choice and apparatus that supports learning through imaginative play, physical activity and health and wellbeing.
