@OldBuckenhamPri - 2nd February 2023
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.

Year 6 put their eagle eyes to the test when they attempted caving yesterday. Unfortunately, the dark prevented us from getting any pictures, but the children enjoyed crawling and wriggling through tunnels and exploring the darkness within.

We briefly escaped the rain to take on the mini Olympics. This included some classic games such as egg and spoon race, ball dribbling and hoop throwing as well as the slightly more original chicken impression competition... https://t.co/zKwG9jbD8E
