About The Ferrars Academy

The Ferrars Academy, a state primary school in Luton for children aged three to seven, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2017 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good, noting that it has sustained this standard. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results because its pupils leave at age seven, the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Luton is 62, providing a benchmark for the primary schools in the area. The Ferrars Academy’s journey from Requires Improvement to Good reflects a clear upward trajectory in its quality of education, and the consistency of its Good rating across two inspections suggests stable and effective leadership under headteacher Sarah Green.
