"5/5 for Fakenham Junior School"

My daughter has been attending Fakenham Junior School for the past two years and we've been thoroughly impressed with her progress. The school's focus on 'being the best YOU can be' really resonates with our family's values. The facilities are excellent, especially the large field and playground!

"Good, but room for improvement"

We've been pleased with the education our child has received so far, but there have been a few issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's commitment to providing a safe and inclusive environment is reassuring, and our child enjoys the outdoor activities they offer.
