As Headteacher, and on behalf of our school community, I would like to offer you a warm welcome. We hope you enjoy looking around our website and getting to know our school. At Dersingham VA Primary and nursery School children are at the centre of all that we do.
We are very proud to have created a strong and caring whole school community which has seen us go from strength to strength. Our aspiration is for children to develop a love for learning and we are helping them to achieve that aim through a broad range of experiences across our rich curriculum offer.
Our staff have worked hard to ensure that we cover the requirements of the National Curriculum but are also enriching children's learning through other activities so that we help them to grow into responsible citizens who contribute to our wider community.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
