St Frideswide Church of England Primary School

Inspectors said Pupils thrive in this happy place and found the school's rich and interesting curriculum goes beyond academic subjects to ensure pupils develop skills for life. They praised the high standards of behaviour and noted that parents are highly positive of the school, including of the staff's commitment to ensuring that every child has the chance to succeed.

The report highlights the Outstanding programme of personal development for children, which includes learning skills such as managing money, life-saving and cooking; taking part in activities such as karate, cycling and outdoor adventure; and gaining leadership experience as school councillors, wellbeing ambassadors and eco-warriors.

In July, the school was also presented with a National Nurturing Schools Award for its dedication to children's social, emotional, and mental health and wellbeing.
