Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
In the words of one parent, 'Staff at Fryern genuinely care and want every child to succeed.' The school is rightly proud of its 'hidden curriculum'. The easily remembered '4Bs' and the school's values of curiosity, respect, ambition, reflection and resilience combine to create the underpinning nurturing ethos. Being 'kind, safe, honest and proud' is second nature to pupils.
The well-designed curriculum ignites pupils' interest in learning, in the world immediately around them and further afield. Teaching encourages them to 'have a go', that it is okay to make mistakes and is important to keep trying. Pupils' attitudes to their learning are impressive and help maintain the momentum of learning in class. Their knowledge and skills build across the full range of subjects over their time at Fryern.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school ensures that the conditions are just right for pupils to be 'growing together, learning for life'. Governors and school leaders have their finger on the pulse. They know exactly what is working well and what could be even better. Planning for further improvements and professional development for staff are centred on what will make most difference to pupils. Identification of, and provision for, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) has been enhanced this school year. Parents appreciate the new SEND workshops and, more widely, improved communications so that they can be involved in and support their child's learning.
