John Ferneley College is a mixed college located in Melton Mowbray in the English county of Leicestershire.[1] The college is part of the Mowbray Education Trust, a multi-academy trust that includes JFC and several primary schools in the local area. The college is named after John Ferneley, a painter who lived in Melton Mowbray, and who is regarded as one of the great British equine artists. The college has specialist status in Business and Enterprise. Previously a community school administered by Leicestershire County Council, John Ferneley College converted to academy status in November 2011. However the college continues to coordinate with Leicestershire County Council for admissions.
Facilities
A new college building was opened at the old Ferneley site in April 2010, and a spillover building, known as the enrichment centre, was opened in March 2012.[2] The college features many double sized classrooms, which can accommodate up to sixty students at once and are used for team-teaching. As part of the corporate image of the college, no displays of student work are permitted in classrooms, which are instead painted white with a bold single colour feature wall.
Learning zones
The college operates a distinct internal structure where subject areas are grouped together into "learning zones". There are five learning zones, each one centred around a central foyer known as a "breakout area". The breakout areas are multi use areas, being used as classrooms, dining areas and social spaces.
The learning zones are:[3]
- communication zone: English, Mathematics
- culture zone: French, Geography, History, Religious Studies, Spanish
- discovery zone: Health and Social Care, Personal, Social, Health, Citizenship and Economic Education (PSHCEE), Science
- enterprise zone: Business Studies, Computer Science, DT (Design Technology)
- performance zone: Art, Ceramics, Dance, Drama, Music, Physical Education
