What This School Does Well
Frodingham Infant School has made real improvements in helping children learn to read, with pupils now more confident in blending letters into words. The school provides excellent support for pupils with complex needs, creating a calm and settled environment where they enjoy learning with familiar adults. Leaders have a clear vision for improvement and are actively working to ensure every child makes good progress.
Key Strengths
- Improved reading provision with greater consistency in phonics teaching helping pupils develop fluency skills
- Pupils with complex special educational needs are well supported and calm in school
- New assessment system enables leaders to track achievement across all subjects and identify learning gaps
- Newly refurbished library is popular with pupils and offers a good range of books
- Leadership team has an accurate view of priorities and is working effectively with external partners
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching approach for pupils with SEND needs reviewing to ensure activities match their starting points and understanding
- Early years curriculum lacks sufficient detail to ensure activities support learning effectively
- Some pupils in early years need more practice with pencil control and letter formation skills
- Formative assessment training is not yet embedded consistently across all classrooms
- Some subject leaders need more training to evaluate the impact of their actions
Frodingham Infant School has made progress to improve since its last inspection, with a continued focus on curriculum delivery and the introduction of new assessment systems. However, some aspects of the school still need further improvement, particularly in supporting pupils with SEND and early years provision.
