From the Friesland School
Every kid is valued at Friesland, and we hold all of our students to the highest standards.
At Friesland School, we put the development of our pupils at the centre of everything we do.
Each and every student has a right to achievement.
As a school, we evaluate our performance based on the results and successful advancement of all of our students and important groups.
All of our students have potential, and as staff, we will work tirelessly to help them realise it.
While we place a high focus on every student's personal and social development, we equally recognise the significance of academic accomplishment.
My goal is to elevate Friesland from an excellent school to an exceptional one.
Our most recent OFSTED rating, dated May 2015, is "good."
We are constantly working to strengthen our "excellent" judgement while keeping our goal of being a "great" school in mind.
By upholding the school's long-standing traditions and enviable reputation in the neighbourhood, I think the vision may be realised.
The curriculum must be engaging for all of our students and innovative.
