Featherstone Primary School is a Values-based school. In order to give our children the opportunity to thrive socially, morally, personally and culturally, we underpin our practice through the chosen Values. Our 11 Values help to build the children's character education.

We are very proud to say that, in recognition of our high-quality Values work, we were awarded with the Values-based Education Quality Mark Award in June 2021.

Our Values

In choosing our Values, we consulted with children, parents, all staff and governors to ensure that the final Values reflected the needs of our children.

Each Value is studied in-depth during one month: it is introduced and worked upon in-class and then consolidated and extended in Key Stage Collective Worship. The Values are not just taught in ‘one off’ lessons,  they are linked throughout the curriculum, especially through PSHE and RE. Values can also be seen in everyday events and goings-on in school. They are not just studied; they are lived in classrooms, corridors, on the playground and in the dinner hall.

Our Values are studied in each and every year group so that, by the time children leave at the end of Year Six, they have a thorough understanding of all Values that we feel build good, whole children, who can go out into the world and genuinely make it a better place.
