"And our girls' Years Five and Six team reached their first ever county final and we all hope they go one further next year and win it."
He added: "Achieving the School Games Gold Award for the third consecutive year means we can go on to achieve the Platinum Award, which is rarely won."
Acting headteacher, Alysia Dolan, said: "It has been a wonderful sporting year with some great successes."
Rhonda Moore, CEO of Castleman Academy Trust, to which Ferndown Middle School belongs, said: "You don't win these awards and recognitions unless you really have made great strides."
