"Lovely School But Room for Improvement"

We were happy with Marton-cum-Grafton Primary School for the most part. The teachers were kind and enthusiastic, and the values of kindness, courage, and respect were really evident. However, we did feel that there was a bit of inconsistency in the teaching quality, and the playground could use some more shade.
