Enrichment
Student Life
At Featherstone High School Sixth Form, we believe education extends beyond the classroom. Our wide range of enrichment opportunities helps students develop essential life skills, broaden their horizons, and prepare for future success. From leadership roles and community volunteering to clubs, sports, and creative arts, every student is encouraged to explore their interests and passions. We also offer academic enhancement programmes, university preparation workshops, and guest speaker events to inspire ambition and confidence. Whatever our students’ goals are, our enrichment programme ensures our students leave Featherstone ready to thrive in higher education and beyond.

COMMUNITY
Our motto “Together we Achieve” is all encompassing. At FHS Sixth Form our students relish their involvement in fund-raising and charity work. Each year, because of the determination and kind hearts of our students, we make a number of sizeable donations to local, national and international charities, helping those less fortunate.
STUDENT VOICE
We have a number of projects on offer for students in the Sixth Form. Students can be elected as a form rep or a member of the School Council. We also have a Sixth Form committee led by the Head Boy and Head Girl. Opportunities for students to be leaders for the Jack Petchey Award are on offer as well as various charity projects.
