I am Kathie Rhodes, the headteacher of Featherbank. I am privileged to lead a team of exceptionally hard working enthusiastic staff, to work with bright, happy and responsive children and caring supportive parents.
Featherbank is at the heart of the community and is often the school attended by parents (and grandparents) of our present children. Our very good reputation is well-deserved, the academic achievements of our children are some of the best in the city, year on year! The enhanced curriculum offers challenge, support and learning opportunities for all children. We are all part of a happy inclusive school.
