Fryern Infant School continues to perform well, maintaining its status as a good school during this ungraded inspection. Pupils display kindness and respect, demonstrating enjoyment in their learning environment. The school has implemented a revised curriculum aimed at enhancing teaching quality and ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, receive appropriate support. Parental confidence in the school is high, bolstered by increased communication and involvement, particularly through workshops designed to help parents understand their children's learning better. While the school has made significant progress, some areas still require attention. Not all staff possess uniform subject knowledge, which can lead to inconsistencies in how the curriculum is delivered. Additionally, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not always addressed promptly. The leadership demonstrates a commitment to future improvement by actively working to further develop staff training and curriculum assessment processes.
