Read what Ofsted said (6)

From Ofsted report, inspected May 2024

Strengths

  • “Frithwood is a large, nurturing, inclusive primary school with a ‘family feel.”
  • “The school’s motto of ‘striving for excellence, learning for life, achievement for all’ is lived out here.”
  • “Staff have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”

To improve

  • “In a few subjects, the curriculum does not sufficiently identify the important knowledge and skills that pupils need to know and remember.”
  • “This means pupils do not build as deep a body of knowledge as in other subjects.”
  • “In some aspects of the curriculum, teachers’ subject knowledge is less well developed.”
