What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Featherstone Primary School is a warm and friendly school. Pupils are exceptionally polite and well mannered. Relationships between staff and pupils are very strong. An inclusive ethos permeates through the school. The school's motto, 'aspire, believe, succeed', captures leaders' high aspirations for all pupils. This is realised through pupils' high levels of resilience and determination in their work. Pupils are incredibly proud of their school. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that they can talk to staff about any worries they have. Leaders take occasional bullying or unkind behaviour very seriously. When it does happen, they deal with it swiftly and effectively. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional due to staff sharing consistently high expectations. Leaders make sure that all pupils have access to a wide range of high-quality extracurricular activities. Pupils enjoy taking part in sporting activities, outdoor pursuits and music tuition. The 'Featherstone Championship Award' is part of an enrichment programme in which pupils learn about, for example, photography, gardening and charity work. Pupils take great pleasure in accessing the school's 'Job Shop', where they search for meaningful roles in order to play a full part in school life. These roles include anti-bullying ambassadors, pupil mental health advocates and values ambassadors.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, not all staff have the subject-specific knowledge they need in order to teach the curriculum consistently well. As a result, some subjects are not taught as well as they could be. Leaders should ensure that staff develop the expertise they need in order to teach all subjects equally well.
