What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Pupils are kind and respectful at Fryern Infant School. They enjoy coming to school and feel safe. Pupils are confident learners. They talk enthusiastically about the school's values which include ambition, curiosity and reflection. They know that together they will learn these important life skills. Children settle well into the school's routines when they start in Reception. They listen well in class and play cooperatively. This helps children to build friendships as they explore the environment. The school ensures there are clear expectations for how well pupils should behave. Pupils are kind and considerate to all others. Occasionally, pupils have disagreements, but pupils know that staff will help if needed. Parents have high levels of confidence in the school. They can see the benefits that recent curriculum changes have made to pupils' learning and engagement. They welcome the increased communication the school has with them. This enables them to play a fuller part in their children's learning. For example, the school has introduced workshops so that parents can have a better understanding of their child's education. This includes specific support for parents of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
What the school should improve
- There is some variability in the subject and pedagogical content knowledge of staff. This means that the delivery of the curriculum is not as consistent as it could be, including in early reading. As a result, pupils do not always learn the intended curriculum as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that all staff are trained and supported appropriately.
- In some subjects, the school's processes for checking what pupils have learned are not as effective as others. As a result, gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding are not addressed as quickly as they could be. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' learning mean that the curriculum is adapted subsequently to meet pupils' needs.
