School Overview

The Friary School is part of the Primitas Learning Partnership, a well established academy that is heavily over subscribed and nationally among the highest performing schools of its type. The school's recent ungraded OFSTED Inspection Report (March 2024) highlighted several strengths, including:

• A culture of high expectations permeates throughout, and pupils rise to this high bar willingly.
• Pupils achieve extremely well.
• Pupils' behaviour and conduct are excellent.
• Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school.
• The school's curriculum is highly ambitious.
• Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported extremely well.
• The wider development of pupils is exceptionally strong.
• The school's careers programme is rich and varied.
• There is a plethora of opportunities for pupils to extend their learning beyond the classroom.
• The local governing body members have a strong understanding of the school.

The school places a strong emphasis on ensuring all students - whatever or wherever their starting point - achieve well. Though our cohorts enter the school slightly above national averages in ability, their subsequent outcomes consistently far outstrip this.

The Friary School proudly serves the city of Lichfield, a treasure in the heart of Staffordshire, with its historic streets and listed buildings. The city offers cultural and entertainment activities year round and benefits from excellent local and national transport links.
