"Some Positives, But Room for Improvement"

While our child has had some great experiences at Watton Junior School, we've sometimes felt that the school could do more to communicate with parents and involve them in decision-making. However, the school's focus on core stories and engaging learning experiences has been a real strength, and our child has made some great friends.
