Frederick Bremer School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 June 2024

Pupils at Frederick Bremer enjoy coming to school. They attend well and are keen to learn. Pupils typically behave respectfully towards each other, and few have ever encountered any bullying or derogatory behaviour. Pupils know how to report any concerns they may have and trust adults to deal with them quickly and effectively. As a result, pupils feel safe and are kept safe here. Pupils feel they really can be themselves at school. Social inclusion is at the heart of this community. Leaders and staff expect every pupil, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are neurodivergent, to engage fully with school life. The school equips and empowers pupils to achieve academically as well as to succeed as adult citizens. This is a happy school. Pupils, parents and carers recommend it unreservedly. They value its creative ethos and enrichment opportunities. In line with the school motto, pupils strive to be 'the best they can be'. Pupils follow an ambitious and well-designed curriculum. They typically work hard and produce work of good quality in different subjects. Most pupils achieve well, including in national assessments, and are, therefore, well-prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training.

What the school should improve

• Sometimes, leaders' high expectations are not consistently promoted or understood. As a result, some pupils do not organise their work well enough or seek to build on their strong previous achievements. The school should ensure that their high expectations are consistently conveyed so that pupils fully embrace the school motto of being 'the best you can be', and this is reflected in their work and achievement.
