Strengths
- “Market Drayton Junior School is friendly and welcoming.”
- “Pupils share warm and trusting relationships with staff.”
- “Staff deal with any minor behaviour incidents quickly.”
To improve
- “However, assessment in some subjects does not yet allow pupils to deepen their understanding of some essential concepts and does not measure how much pupils know over time.”
- “Therefore, in some subjects, pupils do not always have a secure understanding upon which to build their future learning.”
Safeguarding: Effective
