As God's children, we all play our part in making learning irresistible within our Federation community. Book your visit today to come and see our school! There has been a school at Kelling, serving the villages of Kelling, Weybourne and Salthouse, since 1876. It is situated in a beautiful rural setting on the A149 coast road at Kelling, between Sheringham and Blakeney.
Many parents from outside the catchment area also choose to send their children to our small, friendly school where each child is well known by all members of staff, making for a secure and happy primary education.
We are very fortunate to have beautiful grounds and plenty of space for children to engage in outdoor activities, including a sports field adjacent to the school site, a growing garden, pond and wildlife area and a trim trail. Kelling School is a family where every child is a unique individual with extraordinary potential.
