MISSION STATEMENT
Frieth CEC School is a small, thriving village
school. The staff and Governors of the school aim to
provide, in partnership with parents, the best
possible education for the children in the school.
We aim to encourage an environment where pupils
achieve optimum potential in all areas of personal,
academic, physical, social, spiritual and moral
development. The particular educational and
developmental needs of individual children should be
recognised and the school is established as a centre
of interest, activity and support for the
surrounding community. The ethos of the school is
based on Christian values and emphasis is placed on
the teaching and example of the life of Jesus
Christ. |

heights of the village.
*
sited in an area of outstanding
natural beauty, the school provides a protected environment away from
the "hustle and bustle" of the world at large

many villages of the Hambleden Valley. This unites both those villages
and the children within them
* pupils learn a great
deal from the natural world around them, deriving pleasure from it
throughout the seasons and developing their learning skills |

A Healthy School
Frieth school has
been awarded National Healthy Schools Status 2007.
A healthy school is one
that is successful in helping pupils to do their best
and build on
their achievements.
The school is also
committed to the promotion of a healthy life style for
our pupils and
we aim to equip all members of the school community with
the knowledge to be able to
make informed choices about diet, exercise and other
health related issues.
Opportunities are provided
both within and outside the curriculum for physical
education
(PE). In the curriculum we aim to provide two hours of
high quality PE per week to all
year groups.
-
As part of this, children in the Juniors have
swimming lessons (usuall Years 4/5).
-
In Foundation Stage, physical activity is an
integral part of the curriculum.
We enrich the curriculum
in a number of ways, including inviting appropriately
qualified professionals to contribute to curriculum
special events and walks around the local community.
We also provide extensive
opportunities for physical activity through out-of-hours
learning for all children
–
irrespective of age, gender or ability.
-
Clubs such as cross country, netball, cricket and
athletics are seasonally available.
-
We actively promote and maintain links with local
organisations such as Wycombe Wanderers Football
Club.
The school has a
multi-purpose hall and a large playing field. A
multi-activity Sports Day
is always a popular event for pupils, teachers and
parents alike.
