Prospectus information
Featherstone Primary School aims to provide for its pupils an education of the highest quality in an orderly, safe and challenging environment, taking into account the demands of recent Education Acts, the cultural diversity of the school community and the wishes of the parents with regard to their children’s education.
Featherstone Primary and Nursery School is located in a brand new school which opened in September, 2006.
Ethos and values
Featherstone prides itself on being a caring school
that values diversity. ‘The genuine care and consideration shown by
staff to all pupils… permeates all aspects of school life in a
positive way.’ (Ofsted 2002). Members of staff expect hard work
from the pupils and a high level of cooperation from parents. In
return the staff will keep parents informed of their children’s
progress and provide regular opportunities for parents to meet with
them.
Summary of special educational needs policy
Governors of Featherstone Primary recognise that it
will be possible to meet the special needs of most children within
the mainstream of education. Sometimes the help and advice of other
professionals will be sought. Dealing with special needs is a
partnership between home and chool and parental involvement is
encouraged. ‘Teachers throughout the school are committed to giving
all pupils no matter what difficulties they have, the opportunity
to learn.’ (Ofsted 2002)
