“We have enjoyed a very productive working relationship with The Fermain Academy for well over fifteen years. The Fermain is a great alternative for the small number of Fallibroome students who struggle to manage the demands of a busy, large mainstream setting. All of our students at The Fermain have progressed well in their studies and left with a suite of qualifications that enable them to move on to further study or employment.”

“Over the last five years, our partnership with The Fermain Academy has delivered concrete gains for TMA pupils at risk of permanent exclusion. Swiftly introduced, well‑coordinated placements have kept education going for our most at risk students and put the child at the heart of decision making. In particular, some children who have joined us through the FAP process in Year 10 and 11 have been welcomed at Fermain, with its smaller setting, enabling them to succeed and gain qualifications which open the doors to Post 16 opportunities. The Fermain team have always been very quick to get in touch to identify issues and help us work as a team to address issues. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such a high quality provision so close to us and the excellent working relationship we have with the team to maximise the chances of success for vulnerable children. “

“We have worked with the Fermain for over 10 years. Fermain have been instrumental in keeping the most vulnerable youngsters in education from our local community. When we refer a student to the Fermain Academy, they are often at the point of permanent exclusion. Fermain provides these students with an ambitious, broad and academic curriculum as well as bespoken pastoral support. Our colleagues at the Fermain work very closely with us and keep us in the loop with any academic or behavioural developments. They are a huge asset to the local community.“
