Featherstone was the mining village for the nearby Hilton Main Colliery. The shaft was sunk in the interwar period. The pit closed in the late 1960s. The school has seen a new influx as housing estates were built around the village. A new school would be required if the latest proposals for a further 1000 homes are approved.
