We are a large, successful, and happy primary school. We offer a broad curriculum enriched by the Power of Reading, Maths Mastery, and an exciting Arts program. We have recently become a Rights Respecting school and we are working towards being awarded UNICEF's Rights Respecting School bronze award. Through working in partnership with pupils, parents /carers, and outside agencies we aim to provide a supportive and stimulating learning environment where every child can succeed. Our school provides inclusive opportunities in a secure environment, embracing an exciting and creative curriculum that allows all children to become confident, happy, and self-motivated learners. We teach a broad and balanced curriculum, yet place a high emphasis on developing basic skills in Mathematics and English to ensure our children are well prepared for the next stage of their education. We follow the Primary National Curriculum but where possible try to deliver as many of the key skills through a termly theme. We encourage active learning and enhance the curriculum whenever possible by planning visits out or indeed visitors in. We aim to nurture, inspire and challenge all our pupils. Please explore this section of our website to help you understand our teaching philosophy. Please spend some time reading our curriculum outlines for each year group. In addition to specific subjects, we teach, model, and discuss a range of values, which underpin our school vision and add to the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural education of the children here. We explicitly draw out the values of modern Britain to ensure the children in our care have the best possible start to being active and caring citizens. Most of the classroom subjects are covered by the statutory National Curriculum, but we also teach skills, attitudes, and dispositions for learning which we believe help us meet our vision for the education of the children here. Whatever the subject, children are taught through a variety of teaching styles and approaches. The children are encouraged to work cooperatively as a member of the class or a group, or as an individual. They may work with children of a similar ability or in mixed ability groups. We ensure through planning, resourcing, and differentiation that every child has equal access to the curriculum. At Frith Manor Primary School we are committed to nurturing, inspiring, and challenging all of our pupils. We are developing an ethos of building learning power throughout Frith Manor. We want all our pupils to 'own' their learning and develop successful learning techniques. This is made possible through training and exercising their 'learning muscles. We continue to self-improve as a school through reflecting on our practice and ensuring that we keep up to date with new initiatives sometimes by networking with other schools and external agencies. We are a 'Good' school and as we maintain our focus for ensuring that all pupils receive the best education we also make it our priority to concentrate on personal development, behavior, and welfare.

In line with our school motto, ‘Enjoy and Excel’, we are hugely ambitious academically for all our students, ensuring that they secure the results to go on to excel further and higher education institutions and then on to fulfilling careers. But we also want them to live lives that are personally and socially fulfilling, developing a love for art, music, dance, theatre, and culture which will enrich the whole of their lives. We desire that students leave us as mature, independent learners who are also engaged and responsible citizens. We use our strengths in the arts to enhance the learning opportunities for all students. Your son or daughter will feel welcomed, valued, and appropriately challenged at all levels. We believe that by working constructively with parents we can provide the very best for our students in a happy, well-ordered community. We desire that students leave us as mature, independent learners who are also engaged and responsible citizens, ensuring that they secure the results to go on to further and higher education institutions and then on to fulfilling careers. We are in partnership with Woodhouse College, which acts as our sixth form and offers excellent opportunities for our students. Pupil's voice is significant in FBS. Our student elected school parliament plays a strong role in our school. This is involved in making the school a better place to learn. The governing body receives regular reports from chief ministers of the parliament. Governors have an annual day in school when they meet groups of students from across the school. Students are also involved in all teacher appointments. Student questionnaires and interviews are also conducted throughout the year. We aim to develop an understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process. Understanding of the importance of rules, and how and why they are set, will be consistently reinforced through assemblies and our curriculum. Students will be involved in any review of the school rules to help them to understand the reasons behind the rules and the consequences if they are broken. Through inquiry in lessons, we allow the opportunity to debate and discuss the reasons for laws so that children can recognize the importance of these for their protection. Throughout the year we welcome visits from members of the wider community as well as organizing trips out of Friern Barnet School school to meet with a variety of people and visit a wide variety of institutions. We believe that clear explanations and real-life stories emphasize the importance of the rule of law for our students. We invest a great deal of time in creating a positive culture in our school so that children are in a safe environment where choices and freedoms are encouraged. We encourage lesson planning that allows children an element of freedom to choose the task that will challenge them, giving them more freedom to determine their learning. Through our e-safety work, we educate children on their rights and personal freedoms as well as supporting them in recognizing how to exercise these freedoms safely. We believe that valuing choice and freedom in daily school life will foster a value for individual liberty as the children embark upon their adult lives. Mutual respect is at the core of our school life. Students learn to treat each other and staff with great respect. This is evident when walking around the school and in classrooms. Our motto is “Enjoy and excel” we emphasize that to be a successful, confident, and responsible person, effective relationships between students and staff are essential. At FBS we offer a culturally rich and diverse curriculum in which major religions are studied and respected. We strongly believe that tolerance is gained through knowledge and understanding and aim to develop an acceptance that people having different faiths or beliefs to oneself (or having none) should be accepted and tolerated, and should not be the cause of prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. Through our curriculum and the routines of our daily school life, we strive to demonstrate tolerance and help children to become knowledgeable and understanding citizens who can build a better Britain for the future.

Ysgol Friars is an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive school. There has been a school bearing the name of Friars in the City of Bangor since 1557. We believe that the ethos of Friars is at the heart of its success. In both recent inspections, this received high acclaim. We value our pupils and we expect them to value the school. We believe that the school is a community and that pupils must learn that their actions affect others in that community. We insist upon high standards of dress and behavior and actively discourage bullying. Equally, good relationships between home and school are vitally important and we hope we can build a bond that is based on mutual respect and friendly co-operation. As co-partners in the education of your child, we aim to make his/her education at Friars the happiest and successful one. In addition to academic excellence, we pride ourselves on nurturing skills required for the world of work. The school has excellent links with the industry. We strive to ensure that our students are well prepared to meet the challenges and responsibilities of adulthood. Our Vision: To foster enjoyment of learning to the highest standards through the creation of a civilized community where pupils share a common set of values applicable to their local, national, and global identity. The school has always enjoyed a reputation as a safe and orderly environment for learners but following increased delegation of ALN and inclusion funding to the school, we have transformed the amount and quality of support available on-site. The post has fallen vacant following the tragic, sudden death of the previous postholder from natural causes during the summer. The Senior Leadership Team has been augmented and reorganized as a consequence and to accommodate the increasing calls upon us to support schools across the region. Ysgol Friars is situated in the University City of Bangor. It has a tradition dating back to 1557 but also enjoys mainly modern buildings which are well-appointed with good resources and facilities. We have no unfilled posts and encountered few difficulties in staff recruitment. The latest Estyn inspection, held in November 2017, judged all inspection areas to be good, with particular reference made to the consistently high standard of teaching across the school. We are one of only 7 “green” secondary schools in north Wales, according to the national school categorization system, and have been on a rising trend of improvement in key performance indicators for seven years. The school is frequently asked to provide support for other institutions and is represented on the National Academy for Education Leadership stakeholders’ group, and a range of national, regional, and local organizations and partnerships. The school is popular with parents because of its orderly environment. This September’s intake into Y7 was the highest ever. Gwynedd is a bilingual authority and there are linguistic requirements that Senior Leadership Teams must meet. Details will be provided as part of the application pack. View full school

Welcome to the Friars Primary Foundation School. Friars is a vibrant multi-cultural one form entry primary school located in the Borough and Bankside ward of the London Borough of Southwark. We have a long history of high achievement and enrichment and we aim to make every child’s time with us as valuable as possible. We care about our children and families. From the physical environment of the school to the outstanding care guidance and support, all staff gives to the high-quality teaching that goes on to the number of extra activities available – they all show that we want the very best for our children. Our vision for Friars is of a happy community, nurturing, safe and caring environment for all. Everyone will have a thirst for knowledge and a love of learning. We will be courageous, ambitious, resilient, and confident. Throughout our journey at Friars, we will be able to successfully respond to a changing world. Our aim is for Friars’ pupils to achieve high personal and academic success, and demonstrate good behavior, values, and tolerance. We want our learners to become creative, critical thinkers who are inquisitive, flexible, and independent. We will all achieve this through: Developing positive relationships, attitudes, and understanding within our diverse community where pupils show respect for themselves and others Celebrating individuality and creativity within an inclusive environment of equal opportunities Ensuring effective leadership, teaching, communication, and open partnerships with parents and carers Creating a stimulating environment for learning and well-being Offering opportunities to participate in a wide variety of social, cultural, moral, and spiritual experiences Facilitating high-quality professional development to ensure staff reflect, embrace challenge, have high morale, and are well equipped to deliver excellent teaching Friars have an agreed set of values that we all believe in. They are: Right Conduct Truth Peace Non Violence Love These values permeate every aspect of the school’s work including assemblies, behavior management, and everyday discourse between children and adults. We believe they help prepare our children for life in modern Britain. They also sit alongside and run through the fundamental British values of: Democracy The rule of law Mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith individual liberty The Nursery and Reception classes are in a self-contained unit, which has facilities including a well-equipped outside space. During the Autumn Term, the children are educated in their classrooms but after Christmas, there is more of an integrated approach to learning. The children in both classes have the opportunity to use all the space and free flow between classes and outside and are taught in mixed ability groups. Both Nursery and Reception classes follow the Early Years Foundation Stage, whereby the curriculum is delivered through structured play where learning has been identified. The Foundation Stage curriculum includes all the experiences, opportunities, and activities that are offered to help children learn. Each child is viewed as an individual with specific needs being met inappropriate ways, and with individuality being encouraged. Independence is fostered and each child is encouraged to reach their full potential. The curriculum balances a range of developmental experiences focussing both on indoor and outdoor activities. Activities are based around themed units which are taken from the Creative Learning Journey. The Early Years Foundation Stage focuses on effective learning and teaching within seven areas: Communication and language Physical development Personal, social, and emotional development Literacy Mathematics Understanding the world Expressive arts and design At Friars we want our children to be motivated and successful learners. One of our main priorities is to Increase pupils’ stamina and resilience when they are challenged in their learning by a more rigorous and demanding curriculum. We use Carol Dweck’s work on Growth Mindset to encourage children to have a positive learning attitude. To have a growth mindset is to understand that qualities like intelligence, talent, and abilities are not fixed but are developed through hard work, effort, taking risks, and learning from others.

Welcome to Frewen College - a unique dyslexia school for young people between the ages of 7 and 19, with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia, and Speech, Language, and Communication needs. Frewen is based in Sussex and our roots go back over 100 years. We believe we are the oldest dyslexia school in the country, and possibly the world. Our school has a friendly, "family" feel, and the pupils are courteous and cheerful. In a recent Ofsted Inspection, inspectors judged the pupils’ behavior to be "outstanding", and commented on the school’s "highly appropriate focus on the pupils’ specific learning difficulties". SpLD can affect children of all abilities, and we are committed to ensuring that every Frewen pupil achieves the highest level of success possible. Each child’s needs are thoroughly assessed, and individual support provided, in small classes, supplemented where appropriate with one-to-one tuition or therapy, the setting of ambitious but achievable expectations, the careful tracking of progress, and the provision of quality feedback. Pupils joining Frewen College from other schools may have been working as hard as, or harder than, their peers, but they have been held back and made to feel under-valued because their Specific Learning Difficulties have either not been recognized, or have not been properly addressed. Our team has immense experience in helping children with a range of educational needs. All our classroom staff, including Teaching Assistants, have specialist dyslexia training, and our therapists and counselors provide additional one-to-one support on-site where required. The school is divided into three parts: the Prep School, the Senior School, and the Sixth Form, which we run in conjunction with our partner establishments Bexhill College and Plumpton College. This means we can provide ‘all through’ education from age 7 upwards, and can admit appropriate pupils at any stage of their school career. We have students from throughout the UK and some international students too. Our location is quite simply outstanding and provides a safe and calm but enriching environment for our pupils. We are based in the beautiful Wealden countryside, on the borders of Kent and Sussex, just on the outskirts of the historic village of Northiam. The school is based in and around a Grade 1 listed Jacobean mansion that was the family home of the Frewen family for over 300 years. The school is set in listed gardens that were originally laid out in 1681, and include the oldest walled gardens in Sussex. They incorporate an arboretum (with the Lady Jane Frewen bluebell walk), a Jacobean bowling green, and a topiary chess garden, and are opened each year under the National Garden Scheme, and for the local Hospice. Beyond the gardens, our pupils benefit from 60 acres of playing fields and grounds, and we have secure access to another 100 acres of ancient deer park for cross-country runs, orienteering, and nature rambles. Although benefiting from a rural location, uniquely we are within just an hour of London, Gatwick Airport, and the Channel Tunnel, and able to access Eurostar services at Ashford International Station. We are the closest Dyslexia Specialist Provision school to the Continent. Our aim is that each child in our school will be: Well educated with an interest in learning, ready to engage with a wider world Happy and self-confident with a good sense of humor Generous in spirit, kind to others, and aware of others’ feelings.

Frensham Heights is a highly distinctive independent day & boarding school. We welcome students from the age of 3 to 18 and we give them the tools to succeed in their education, helping them to extend their abilities and exceed their expectations. Our EthosFrensham is a different school in many ways – and we’re very proud of that. However, it’s only very different in the context of a traditional English public school. If you’re imagining boaters or tartans or children with badges down their lapels, then we are not that. Yet if you have experienced an international school or an American school, then we’re not very different at all. So many areas that today are heralded as pioneering in education lie at the heart of what Frensham Heights has stood for since 1925. We have stayed true to our founding principles of child-centered learning and mutual respect. We have pioneered and grown without compromising what we do or how we do it. We have evolved to reflect the educational needs and realities of our students but we have not had to adapt to or adopt changes to survive. We have not had to embrace coeducation to fill places – we have welcomed boys and girls equally from the start. We have not dropped uniforms to compete with sixth form colleges – we have had no uniform for 40 years. We have not introduced a student council to meet a new trend – we have always respected the importance of the student's voice. We are always ambitious for our students to achieve their potential in whichever area they choose to pursue. Students at Frensham are exposed to a wealth of opportunities where they can discover and identify their talents – talents that, through programs such as Gifted and Talented, are subsequently nourished and celebrated. Respect is one of the key foundations of our educational philosophy. Respect cannot be forced – if it is, to be honest, it has to be earned. No form of the community can be truly successful unless its members have respect for each other and themselves. We place great emphasis on equality. From the start, Frensham has welcomed boys and girls as students. Yet equality goes deeper than that. By recognizing that each member of our school community has equal responsibility towards maintaining that community, we create an atmosphere that is relaxed, engaging, and tolerant. We have a long tradition of welcoming those who have suffered prejudice and cruelty. This began during and after the Second World War when Frensham became a haven for young people fleeing Nazi Germany. Today we continue to refuse to discriminate based on race or religion. Frensham offers young people freedom with responsibility. In keeping with our approach of mutual respect, tolerance, and celebrating the individual, we keep the number of hard and fast rules to a minimum. This means that the rules that do exist are there for a reason – to ensure Frensham is a secure place where each person takes responsibility for maintaining that security. At Frensham, cooperation means every individual, whether staff, parent, or student, is encouraged to approach any situation not thinking ‘what will I get out of this?’ but rather ‘what can I contribute?’ Visitors often remark how our students offer support and assistance without prompting and without hesitation. Creativity has many meanings at Frensham and it is found in every aspect of the school, from the classroom to the art studio, from the dance hall to the theatre, and from the staff room to the study. Creativity is not confined to the stage or the orchestra. The fact that we have no uniform and are called by our first names demands much more from the whole community than traditional approaches. Choices, value judgments, and recognizing the human qualities of each daily are much more demanding than conformity, blind acceptance, and feeling powerless. View full school

Through a Rights Respecting Christian ethos, we aim to install in our children a belief in themselves, to nurture their self-esteem, and, above all, to embrace their responsibility to respect the rights of others. This in turn helps them to learn how to formulate, express, and listen to opinions, helping to raise achievement and self-confidence. Our vision is: to ensure every child leaves our school a good reader, enjoying reading and able to use print to help them in every aspect of their lives. to ensure children can communicate effectively both verbally and in writing including using IT. to create competent and confident mathematicians able to apply their basic maths skills to common problems and situations. to encourage all our children to live fulfilled lives as responsible local, national and global citizens, treating others with respect and being able to be both team players and team leaders. to ensure every child develops resilience, resourcefulness, and self-esteem. to encourage our children’s natural curiosity, developing enquiring minds that challenge and question for them to learn and understand more.
