About Frithville Primary School

Frithville Primary School sits well below the Lincolnshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with the LA average sitting at 57. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Requires Improvement overall, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013. This places it among a minority of schools in the county that are not yet meeting the standards most parents would expect. The school is small, with just 31 pupils against a capacity of 70, and a high proportion of children — 61.3% — eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average. While the headline metrics may give pause, the inspection report noted that personal development and behaviour and attitudes are both Good, suggesting that the school maintains a positive environment for its pupils despite the challenges it faces in leadership and the quality of education.
