What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
In the words of one parent, 'Staff at Fryern genuinely care and want every child to succeed.' The school is rightly proud of its 'hidden curriculum'. The easily remembered '4Bs' and the school's values of curiosity, respect, ambition, reflection and resilience combine to create the underpinning nurturing ethos. Being 'kind, safe, honest and proud' is second nature to pupils. The well-designed curriculum ignites pupils' interest in learning, in the world immediately around them and further afield. Teaching encourages them to 'have a go', that it is okay to make mistakes and is important to keep trying. Pupils' attitudes to their learning are impressive and help maintain the momentum of learning in class. Their knowledge and skills build across the full range of subjects over their time at Fryern. Strong support for pupils' personal and social development cultivates their understanding of how to look after themselves and build positive relationships with others, whatever their background. Pupils value activities beyond the classroom that give them the chance to try new things and, in the words of one, 'embrace their fears' in a safe environment. The popular enterprise week teaches them important life skills. Leadership opportunities develop pupils' sense of responsibility and give them an influential say in school life.
What the school should improve
- Beginning and end-of-unit checks in the foundation subjects are not focused precisely enough on what pupils need to recall and remember for what comes next. They cannot always readily recollect important information. The school should identify the key learning in each subject and ensure that teaching supports pupils to embed it in and retrieve it from their long-term memory.
- The approach to teaching reasoning and problem-solving in mathematics varies. Some pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to explain their mathematical thinking and apply their knowledge. The school should make sure that the teaching of mathematics is consistently at the level of the best seen so that all pupils deepen their mathematical understanding.
