Strengths
- “Dronfield Junior School is a happy community where pupils enjoy learning and playing together.”
- “Pupils know that their teachers expect much of them academically and personally.”
- “They trust the adults in school to help them and to keep them safe.”
To improve
- “In a very small number of subjects, pupils do not remember this important knowledge with the same degree of confidence.”
- “As a result, pupils are less able to acquire new knowledge because they have not secured prior learning.”
- “Sometimes at less structured points in the school day, a minority of pupils do not demonstrate the self-control and consideration for others that leaders expect.”
