Ferndown Middle School is closed due to a sickness and diarrhoea outbreak, impacting all students, including Year 6 pupils who were set to take SATs. Headteacher Grant Hopkins confirmed the postponement was approved by the NCA, with a new date for assessments to be arranged before May 21. The school praised staff and students for their handling of the situation. Parents were advised to maintain the confidentiality of the SATs content and can reach out to the school via email for support. Nearby Ferndown First School and Ferndown Upper School remain open, monitoring the situation closely.
