What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 September 2023
Pupils are happy at Frizington Community Primary School. Everyone feels welcome and included in all aspects of school life. Pupils are polite, sensible and respectful. They care for each other and look after one another. Pupils know that adults in school will help them if they have any worries or concerns. They value the positive relationships that they have with staff. Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy their lessons. They benefit from many opportunities to learn outside the classroom. For example, pupils relish the wide range of trips that they experience locally and further afield. These include visits to cathedrals, mosques, museums and theatres. These rich experiences help pupils to appreciate a range of different communities. The school has high expectations of all pupils' learning. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard in their lessons and aim to fulfil the school's ambition for them to become lifelong learners. Most pupils achieve well and are ready for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, the school has not ensured that some pupils' gaps or misconceptions are addressed before they move on to new learning. This means that some pupils' learning is not as secure as it should be. The school should ensure that pupils have successfully embedded the prior knowledge that they need before they learn new content.
