  • 21 May 2021 Dear Parent/Carer I Would Like to Start with a Huge Thank
    21 May 2021 Dear Parent/Carer I would like to start with a huge thank you to our fantastic staff who have continued to deliver high quality engaging lessons for our students during these challenging times. Student engagement continues to be of a high standard so a big thank you also to our students who have shown great determination to keep up with their studies. Our thanks also to our parents and carers for their support and encouragement in what has been another unprecedented year. After nearly four years in post as Principal of The Featherstone Academy, I share the news that I will be leaving my position in the summer to take on the role of Headteacher of Castleford Academy with effect from September. I am sad to see my role as Principal come to a close, especially under the current COVID school operations, where I am unable to announce this change to our students or staff in person. Exciting new challenges lie ahead for me however I will greatly miss The Featherstone Academy, its students, staff and community. I hold a deep respect and affection for the academy. It has been my honour and privilege to lead the academy during the past four years and I truly believe the academy will continue to make the progress we have made under the guidance of The Rodillian Multi Academy Trust. The Featherstone Academy is a wonderful community and I know it will continue to offer a high quality education and rich experience for its young people. It is a school to be proud of.
