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 school site in April 2010, and a spillover building 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.
Learning zones
The college operates a zonal 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 duel use areas, being used both as classrooms and social spaces.
