Welcome to our website. We hope it gives you a flavour of the aspirations we have for our children and the pride we have in our school community. We work in a principled way, informed by research and evidence on how young children learn best.
Our school is a larger than average infant and nursery school, located near the University of East Anglia and in the middle of the dynamic West Earlham community, situated approximately 2.5 miles from the centre of the historic city of Norwich. We have a purpose built nursery which has the capacity for over 100 of our youngest learners.
We have educational provision for 2 year olds – 7 year olds
