Featherstone Primary and Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 May 2024

Pupils love attending Featherstone Primary and Nursery School. They appreciate the excellent education that this inspirational school provides. In early years, children settle quickly and develop an enthusiasm for learning. Pupils across the school know that they are part of the 'Featherstone family'. They are kept safe, feel valued and listened to. The school's focus on supporting mental health and well-being, as well as character development, prepares pupils exceptionally well for their future lives. Pupils follow the rules and routines with enthusiasm. The school environment is calm and orderly but with a constant buzz of learning. During playtimes, pupils interact respectfully and use the school's 'CARE' values to remind each other to be kind to one another. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the education their children receive. Pupils are supported to understand the protected characteristics, to challenge discrimination, and respect others' rights. They proudly take on responsibilities in school and participate in projects to support the local community. A broader range of additional activities helps to ensure that pupils' talents and interests are well considered. Staff are diligent in ensuring that all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can take part in these activities.
