Head Teacher's Welcome

OFSTED 2023: 'Pupils enjoy learning in lessons and are eager to collaborate with their peers to complete their work to a high standard'.

Welcome to

Friar’s Grove Primary School!

We are proud of our reputation as a friendly, welcoming school and do our best to be approachable, open and understanding. Our school is a thriving community, where staff, parents and governors work closely together to ensure that the children in our care receive the best education and school experience that we can offer.

Our partnership with families is essential in helping to build a clear picture of every child as an individual, and in meeting their social, emotional and learning needs.

A visit to our school is always recommended as that is undoubtedly the best way to get a real flavour of our ethos and of course you will be able to observe our happy and enthusiastic pupils as they go about their school day.

I have been Headteacher at Friar’s Grove Primary School since 2017. Before that, I was Deputy Head of the school and before that I was SENCo and Inclusion Leader. Safe to say, I know the school well!

Before coming to Friar’s Grove, I taught for many years across all the primary age ranges.

I am committed to ensuring the school is the best it can be.

Mrs Susan Shipp
