FEATHERSTONE HIGH SCHOOL
TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE
Featherstone High School is, once again, judged ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.
footballers off to Ireland to test their skills.
At the beginning of 2015 we were
recognised by Ofsted as an ‘outstanding’
school for the second time in a row.
Ofsted inspectors found “learning to
be lively and interesting, with a wide
range of helpful resources to support
students’ accelerated learning.”
They also found the behaviour of
students to be ‘outstanding’ and their
attitude to learning ‘exemplary.’ The
school’s leaders, Ofsted noted, have
“exceptionally high ambitions for all
students to be successful.”
We spoke to some of our Year 7s
and asked them about their first year
here. One student said: “FHS is a fun
place with exciting lessons and clubs”.
Another added: “I really enjoy it here
because of the sense of community”.
Recalling their first day, this student
said: “I was nervous, but the teachers
here are very kind and they helped me
settle in, I made friends really easily.”
A Year 7 parent told us: “I went to
the open evening for this school and
absolutely loved it. This school is a
shining example of what an education
can lead to: an environment in which
success is fostered.”
We are proud of our success. Whatever
the criteria: academic, social and personal,
or sporting, this is an exceptional school.
We want children to leave school having
maximised their academic progress but
also to really enjoy their time with us and
to leave with fond memories.
Please do come and see for yourselves,
it will not take you long to appreciate
that Featherstone High School is a warm
and hardworking community striving for
excellence in all we do.
