My name is Sally Brayne and I have been Head of School since September 2020. Working closely with our Executive Head and the Head of School at the Infants has ensured that we offer the children of Market Drayton the best possible start to their education, whilst preparing them for the next phase. We strive to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that offers every child the chance to shine. In addition, through the use of our school values we endeavour to safeguard our pupils and promote their emotional and social welfare in order to create happy, thoughtful learners who aspire to do their best.

Some parents and children may know me as a teacher from Market Drayton Infants and Nursery school. I have been teaching for 16 years and in that time have had three children of my own, two of which have attended Market Drayton Junior school and thrived in the supportive teaching and learning environment that is instilled by all staff.

I work for a national charity who empowers and supports individuals who have been impacted by addiction, crime, homelessness or long-term unemployment to make positive and sustained changes to their lives.
I moved to Market Drayton in 2007, my children attend the local schools, so I have a vested interest in the school providing an environment that enables it pupils to thrive and reach their full potential.
