Snettisham Primary School is a special place where children are encouraged to be happy and develop a love of learning together. We are a small school in a rural area but our ambition is big; wishing to teach and inspire our pupils to achieve and succeed. We live in a beautiful part of Norfolk but have limited access to the wider world.
So we have planned and deliver a bespoke knowledge rich curriculum from reception to year six. We want everyone to experience and enjoy learning across a broad, relevant and diverse curriculum.
