@OldBuckenhamPri - 18th May 2022
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.

Thank you for your patience for year 4 residential pictures. I am sure your children have told you all about the amazing things we got up to but here are just a few pictures to show you all the fun we had. https://t.co/mvUOO3N7vj
@OldBuckenhamPri - 13th May 2022
At last we have signal! Year 4 are having a wild and wonderful time on their first ever residential trip. We have already experienced so many fun activities and have another full day ahead of us. We look forward to sharing pictures with you later when we are better connected :)
@OldBuckenhamPri - 4th March 2022
All home safe and sound. More photos to share with you all next week. The children all made amazing memories. I'm sure they will sleep well tonight. Rest well this weekend. #TEAMtogethereveryoneachievesmore https://t.co/jhCwXzwQg4

Good morning! After a good nights sleep all the children are currently having breakfast ready for a full day of fun filled activities. Looking forward to updating you all with our adventures later.

Good afternoon! A reminder that this Friday is @NSPCC Number Day, so for a £1 contribution, your child can come to school dressed as their favourite number (or numbers!). How creative can they be with their outfit? #NSPCC #NumberDay2022

Huge thanks to author @monsterscantalk for her virtual visit to Year 5 earlier this week, to talk about her inspiration for the fabulous 'Swop the Satsuma-Sized Secret' and share some sign language with us! #Inclusion https://t.co/5cBd65Umcj

We would like to wish all of our children, parents and wider community a very merry Christmas and a happy new year, whatever it ends up looking like. Stay safe and well, everyone - see you in 2022!

Well done to our school choir who sang at the Old Buckenham Christmas Tree lighting ceremony this afternoon. Thank you to Mrs Canwell, Miss Moll and Miss Hunt for helping us to sing so well!
@OldBuckenhamPri - 2nd December 2021
We were honoured to have the children's author @ThomasHTaylor visit Years 4, 5 and 6 this morning, to share some fantastic fossils, his spooky story inspiration and to sign some of our pupils' copies of Malamander, Gargantis and Shadowghast! Thank you so much for coming!📚👻🐚 https://t.co/g7OJ4akTBg
@OldBuckenhamPri - 26th November 2021
And that’s it! After an action-packed week that has challenged, entertained and exhausted our children, we’re back on the coach and making our way home. (FYI: children will be leaving school at the normal time of 3.05, so please don’t arrive for collection earlier than usual👌🏼) https://t.co/bOnyELLMH6
@OldBuckenhamPri - 26th November 2021
Good morning! It’s our last day at Kingswood and the children are up, packing their bags and stripping their beds. All of this needs to be done before breakfast at 8.30 so we need to get a wriggle on! 🐛 Final activities include abseiling, archery and hot spots. Let’s do it!
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
A Kingswood tradition on the final night: a roaring campfire, steaming hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows… not to mention some fantastic singing from the children and instructors! 🔥 ☕️ 🍪 The children are now getting ready for bed before tomorrow’s (very) early start ☀️ https://t.co/0g36sVUIjW
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
Unfortunately the weather really turned against us this afternoon so a few of our children are a little damp, but spirits still seem high as we head into the final evening! 🔥 Tomorrow, they’ve got to pack their cases - wonder if anyone will return with a sock missing? 😅 https://t.co/eUVlHfmi8U
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
It is SO cold today! We’re right next to the sea so the breeze that’s rolling in is nice and fresh - perfect to keep us on our toes. 🌊 The children are having a fantastic time… but the teachers could do with a brew! 🥶 🥶 ☕️ 🫖 https://t.co/8VOuoLxDPl
@OldBuckenhamPri - 25th November 2021
Our final full day at @kw_westrunton and it’s a soggy one! In the menu today we’ve got abseiling, 4x4 buggy driving and an obstacle course - with a final visit to the shop later this evening! https://t.co/3R21KvK2fA
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
An evening of laser tag, disco lights and music rounded off our third day at Kingswood! There were a few tired children who decided to break off early to get ready for bed, but after a day full of high-altitude challenges, this was completely understandable ☺️ Goodnight! https://t.co/TByO2oj2Ih
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
How very generous of you @simonjamesgreen - our pupils will be absolutely thrilled to hear about this! Especially our Y6 class who are currently tackling all sorts of wonderful challenges on their residential 😃🔥📖 https://t.co/669HxwNYjt
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
For the first activity of the day, the class are all doing high-level challenges: leap of faith, zip wire and climbing! 🧗♀️ https://t.co/P6Hd0Y2UTc
@OldBuckenhamPri - 24th November 2021
Time: 6.45am. The sound of children chatting loudly can be heard throughout the building. When gently reminded that it’s not actually time to get up yet, the response comes: “Yes but can we start tidying?” They’re ever so keen to do well on their room inspections! 😂👍🏻
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
More pictures of the great challenges the children have tackled so far… https://t.co/BryvbrhLQs
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
Some pictures of the fantastic activities from our first couple of days here @kw_westrunton https://t.co/1y4kdroLQZ
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
A much quicker, easier bedtime this evening - the children have had a jam-packed day and are exhausted! 🥱 Today we’ve also celebrated a birthday, spent some of our money in the shop, and held a mini olympics with some interesting team names! Good night everyone! 🌙 😴
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
It’s a beautiful morning at @kw_westrunton and we’re ready and raring to go! https://t.co/sMzJ1qrIeO
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
Last night we tried our hand at firelighting - our skills of resilience and determination came in really useful here, as getting the flint and steel to spark well enough to light the kindling was VERY tricky! 🔥 https://t.co/JjmntxZ8Mm
@OldBuckenhamPri - 23rd November 2021
Wakey wakey, rise and shine! ☀️ Today, we’re doing: Problem solving (teamwork) Jacob’s Ladder (heights) Crate stacking (heights) Plus more archery, caving and fencing for some groups who didn’t do these yesterday. Breakfast is at 8.30; room inspection is at 8. Let’s go! 🏃🏼♀️
@OldBuckenhamPri - 22nd November 2021
For the ‘Nightline’ activity, the children had to make their way in 2 teams around an obstacle course - in the dark and wearing blindfolds. Without sight, verbal communication became incredibly important, and it gave our children a chance to put this skill to good use. 1/2
@OldBuckenhamPri - 22nd November 2021
Good evening! Year 6 have arrived at @Kingswood_ West Runton safe and sound, have made their beds (to a wide range of standards 😂), have completed their first activity and have just finished dinner. Two more activities left before we start to wind down for the night! 🔦 🌙
@OldBuckenhamPri - 14th November 2021

The pumpkins 🎃 have been moved under shelter to avoid those with non-waterproof lights getting damaged. They will be proudly on display when the downpour has ceased 🌧
@OldBuckenhamPri - 19th October 2021
After calculating every classes steps…I’m very pleased to see that we managed to easily exceed the 15km target on Friday! 🎉 also raising £153! Well done to all the children (& staff) for your efforts!

Tomorrow see’s the Grand Finale of Miss Day’s fun club for the Year 4 pupils! 🎉
@OldBuckenhamPri - 15th October 2021
A huge well done to everyone today for getting out and getting those extra steps in. The count up will begin to see if we’ve met the target! Also a big thanks for all the donations towards such a great cause!
