Welcome

We are a rural community primary school situated in the village of Old Buckenham, Norfolk. As a primary school we have always catered for the age range 4 to 11, a seven year educational span, however in August 2018, we took on Buckenham Pre-School Group to extend our age range from 2 years old. We are therefore now a joint Primary and Nursery School. We have seven classes: one for each academic year, which enables us to deliver the EYFS and National Curriculum to classes containing single age ranges.

Today we planted a memorial tree for our former colleague Janet Hart who sadly passed away. The ceremony took place with children who attended the pre school during Janet's career. Thank you to those who contributed to the tree, which will help us to remember her every day. pic.twitter.com/5YKf8yAm2I
