Our Community

Community Links

John Ferneley College has strong links with the local community in Melton Mowbray and the surrounding areas.

Local businesses have been very supportive in raising funds to support our successful bid as a Business and Enterprise Specialist College. Visits to local firms are an integral part of the curriculum, and many workplaces have kindly provided work placements for our students.
 
Work experience dates for the 2010/11 academic year have been confirmed as Monday 27th June to Friday 1st July 2011, with work experience forms requiring to be returned to the college by Friday 25th February 2011. If parents have any queries about their child’s work experience opportunities, they can contact our Work Related Learning Co-ordinator, Sally Edwards. 
 
Through our Business and Enterprise specialism, we have formal links with PERA, the Melton Community Partnership and Leicester Road Day Centre. 
 
A number of community groups use the college’s premises and facilities throughout the week.  If you would like to know more about hiring the college premises, please contact Helen Kennedy on 01664 565901 or email ask@johnferneley.org.uk.
