Blakeney Church of England Primary is proud to be part of The Pilgrim Federation of Church of England Primary Schools. Blakeney is one of the most exciting villages on the North Norfolk coast. Local leisure activities include sailing, walking and ornithology. The town of Holt lies a few miles to the south and the village is about 25 miles from the County city of Norwich.
With the Norfolk Broads within easy reach of Blakeney, it is ideally placed for a wide variety of interests. The school was built in 1863 in traditional materials and re-modelled in 1976. It is well equipped and in good order throughout. All classrooms and corridors are carpeted and the building is protected by a modern fire alarm system.
