Princess Frederica CE VA is a multicultural school which nurtures Christian faith and behaviour. We believe school should be an enjoyable, enriching experience. We promote excellence so that each child is inspired to achieve, and provide opportunity within a safe, caring and challenging environment where everyone is valued.
Partnership At Princess Frederica, we believe education is a partnership between school and parents. For this reason, we encourage active relationships with families, which lead to higher standards and well-being for all the children in the school. We provide a stimulating environment where children are nurtured and challenged to achieve high standards in all areas of their learning. We do hope our website gives you an insight into what makes Princess Frederica a special place to learn and grow.

The children worked on different projects through the week and demonstrated different skills learnt and creativity they possess. Please follow the link below to find out what the different year groups did and some pictures of them doing it.
Enormous thanks from the school Headship Team and PSA for the work that went into it all. There has been a wonderful creative and collaborative energy around the school and everyone has been fascinated to see the projects emerge. This wonderfully enriching initiative simply would not be possible without the support of PSA funds and the parent volunteers who have helped at school during the week. Thank you to all involved. We must single out parents Elaine Gristock, Hannah Greenaway, Lucy Soutter and Rae Smith and our PSA Staff Rep Zara Bastick for special appreciation.

Princess Frederica CE VA primary school managed to successfully fundraise for £15,000 to install solar panels which will generate clean electricity, help cut the schools energy bills and bring in additional income to spend on school resources and equipment. Beatrix Simpson, the school’s headteacher, said: “Solar panels will save us thousands on energy bills and cut out carbon footprint. Even more exciting though is the opportunity we now have to educate our children about how sunlight converts into electricity, about science and maths, and to become environmentally-aware citizens as they grow up." The fundraising was led by Rachael Newberry, a local parent and school governor, who said; “It was nail-biting stuff. We were up to the wire and thought we had missed our target but throughout the project the whole community was right behind us. We went to Legoland, watched films at the Lexi, wore all yellow to school and ate lots of cakes - all for a good cause. The kids are all so proud they are a solar school." The project was supported by the carbon-cutting campaign 10:10 and money was raised with parents, teachers, children, the PSA and several local businesses. The launch event was attended by the Mayor of Brent and the Leader of the Council, Councillor Muhammed Butt who said: "It is fantastic that Princess Frederica is a 'solar school' and that our young people are helping Brent become a greener borough. Our Council is committed to playing its part in tackling climate change and projects like this set an excellent example of the way we can all make a difference.” Our MissionPrincess Frederica is a multicultural school which nurtures Christian faith and behaviour. We promote excellence so every child is inspired to achieve. We provide enriching opportunities in a safe, caring and challenging environment where everyone is valued.
