"Excellent facilities and caring staff"
We've been really impressed with the facilities at Dereham Junior Academy, from the playground to the library. The staff are always so friendly and willing to help, and my son has loved getting involved in the school's reading for pleasure program.

"A warm and welcoming school"
I couldn't be happier with Dereham Church of England Junior Academy. My daughter has settled in so well and loves her teachers. The school's focus on mental and emotional health is something that really resonates with me as a parent.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"
We were happy with our experience at Dereham Junior Academy when our child was there, but we did notice that the school could do more to engage with parents who aren't able to attend events. The curriculum was engaging, but we felt that there could be more opportunities for children to pursue their interests outside of the classroom.
