About Featherstone Wood Primary School

Featherstone Wood Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, for children aged 3 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape: among the 19 primary schools in Stevenage, it ranks 7th by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it ahead of many local peers, though the top performers in the wider Hertfordshire area include Little Gaddesden Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Harvey Road Primary School and The Russell School, all of which achieved the highest possible ranking score. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good across all categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development and early years provision. This marked a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall. With 204 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, the school is not yet full, but demand is strong.
