Freemantles School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 November 2023

Freemantles School provides an exceptional quality of care and education. Staff place pupils' emotional well-being front and centre of every decision made about an individual's education. Staff provide a safe and nurturing environment so that pupils can thrive. Pupils learn to communicate through an impressive command of communication methods. Pupils are considerate of others because staff consistently model what respect and kindness look like. Smiles and cheery greetings in the corridor are abundant. Highly effective classroom routines mean that pupils know exactly what to expect and when. This helps pupils to feel calm and secure, and it adds to the sense of serenity that pervades the whole school. Pupils follow an inspiring and ambitious curriculum, which helps them to acquire important knowledge and skills. Each day, fleets of school minibuses take pupils out into the community to practise applying their learning in the 'real world'. This includes opportunities for Reception children to shop for items that start with the letters they have been learning. These thoughtful activities also support pupils to manage their worries about new places, sights and sounds. Every part of the curriculum is meticulously planned and delivered to help pupils achieve everything they are capable of.
