At Gresham Village School and Nursery, central to our school ethos, every child is treated as a unique individual from the youngest age. We were delighted by our Ofsted inspection in June 2016, from which we received a very positive report and confirmation of our grading of 'good'.
With only 132 pupils in all years, we pride ourselves in knowing every child and their families exceptionally well and have tailored our curriculum to reflect the needs of children in a small school in a rural part of North Norfolk .
We provide many opportunities for children to learn outdoors, from nursery age right through to year 6 and have developed our grounds over many years to support our outdoor learning programme. This includes Forest Schools and have a small wood in which to make this aspect of the children's education happen.
