We will be visiting Friesland School, part of Two Counties Trust. Friesland is a secondary academy, serving pupils from Y7 through to post 16. They have a culture of ambition and high expectations, supporting pupils to achieve academically as well as providing a board range of creative, cultural and extra-curricular experiences. Craig Patterson (head) and his team will lead the visit, talking through their journey, their school improvement plans and walking us round the school, including sharing their 'Proud Station' and visiting lessons.
