One of the main reasons I applied to be the Headteacher at Frizinghall Primary was the warmth and enthusiasm for learning I felt when I first visited. Once I was appointed and got to know the wider school community, everybody made me feel very welcome and it was easy to see why our wonderful, smiley, inquisitive pupils are such a pleasure to teach.
Even though a number of years have now passed since my appointment, I still feel the same as I did when I first visited. I am also tremendously proud of how we have continued to develop our curriculum offer, since we were judged as a good school back in March 2022, and how we work to meet the needs of the pupils and families we serve.
If you have a moment, do have a look at our curriculum subject guides because they showcase the rich curriculum we provide.
