Frithville Primary School is currently judged as requiring improvement overall, with the quality of education being a significant area for development. Though the school has made strides in certain areas, such as reading, where a new phonics program has led to better progress, other aspects of the curriculum remain inconsistent. While pupils enjoy a positive atmosphere and demonstrate good behavior and attitudes, the curriculum's organization and implementation need clarity and enhancement. This report marks the school's first routine inspection since its joining of the Horncastle Education Trust in December 2018, and insights from the COVID-19 pandemic were taken into account during the evaluation.
