What This School Does Well
Parents love this school for its warmth, positivity and strong sense of belonging for everyone. The school delivers an ambitious curriculum with outstanding music education and expert phonics teaching that gets all children reading fluently. Children with additional needs receive particularly thoughtful, effective support that helps them succeed alongside their peers.
Key Strengths
- Excellent reading and phonics programme with highly effective assessment systems that ensure all children become confident, fluent readers
- Strong support for pupils with special educational needs - timely, effective intervention with helpful resources
- Ambitious, broad curriculum with particularly strong music provision where children learn notation from early years and perform in choirs, ensembles and orchestra
- Well-developed personal development curriculum with excellent understanding of diversity and equality issues
- Positive, supportive staff culture with strong teamwork and professional development
Areas for Improvement
- In a few subjects, the school does not identify the precise knowledge and skills pupils need to learn, limiting deeper understanding over time
- Behaviour strategies are not applied consistently by all staff, particularly at transition times and lunchtimes, resulting in less orderly behaviour on occasion
- Actions taken following safeguarding concerns are not always recorded systematically, and checking systems are not robust enough to track cases effectively
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with a strong curriculum focus on keeping safe and staff with good safeguarding understanding, but recording of concerns and case tracking systems need improvement.
Extracurricular Activities
Residential visits, school council, library roles, house captains, tour guides, choirs, ensembles, orchestra, breakfast club, after-school care
Princess Frederica C of E Primary School is a joyful place where children flourish and are overwhelmingly happy and safe. The school has an ambitious, well-designed curriculum and extensive extra-curricular offer that enables all pupils, including those with special educational needs, to achieve well.
