Featherstone Academy

A message from our Headteacher

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our school website. Featherstone Academy is a one form entry primary school that is at the heart of the Featherstone community. We are proud to be part of the Greenheart Learning Partnership and ensure that our children benefit from the links we have with other schools as well as the University itself.  

Every child here is valued for who they are and we aim to harness their unique nature. We have a dedicated staff team who will go over and above for the children within their care and who build positive relationships with families; we truly value the whole family and understand the importance of the link between home and school. With a fast-moving world I want to make sure that children are ready for this by ensuring technology is linked to learning wherever possible. All subjects are of the utmost importance, and we try to permeate core English and Maths skills across the curriculum when we can. Our decision making is always child-centred and we want all of the children at Featherstone Academy to have a voice. In addition to the National Curriculum, we try to prepare children for the next step by teaching them wider life-skills.  

Please have a look through our website and if you would like to get in contact with me or arrange a meeting/visit to the school, please telephone the school office or email headteacher@featherstone.uwmat.co.ukI would love to share more about our school with you and we are always happy to talk to parents of children who attend the school or prospective parents thinking of joining us.
